Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomized controlled study to determine if patients between the ages of 18-50 years, with posture related low back pain, who use the Upright device demonstrate improved pain control and self perception of posture compared to those given standard ergonomic instruction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Back pain is a common complaint among students. For many, back pain is directly related to poor posture while sitting and standing. Those who spend prolonged time sitting in poor posture often develop muscular imbalances leading to tight chest muscles and weakness in back muscles. The Upright system is a device which helps provide a sensory reminder to alert users when their posture is poor. The purpose of this study is to determine if patients who use the upright posture device demonstrate improved pain control and self perception of posture when compared to those given standard ergonomic instruction.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Upright Go Device Group

Patients receiving the Upright device will have a brief training on the use of the device and proper posture. They will be asked to download the Upright app on their phone from the Playstore.

Patients will wear the device once daily for training. They will attach the device applying an adhesive on their upper back, as instructed, and the device will be attached to the adhesive by velcro. Once completed they should remove adhesive.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Upright Go Device

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants will be asked to use the Upright device everyday for four (4) weeks. After four (4) weeks, the participants will be asked to complete a couple of questionnaires regarding their pain scale and back posture.

Control Group

The control group will receive a 15-20 minute instruction on proper posture by the physician and will receive an ergonomic handout.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Ergonomic Handout

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will be asked to use the ergonomic handout everyday for four (4) weeks. After four (4) weeks, the participants will be asked to complete a couple of questionnaires regarding their pain scale and back posture.
