Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Method 26 subjects who reported being university students or having a sedentary work and experiencing pain in neck, back or shoulders were randomized into intervention- (n=12) and control group (n=14).
The intervention group received a three-week treatment with BBT, the control group received no treatment. A questionnaire regarding pain, including a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) measuring pain intensity, and a Photographic posture analysis measurement (PPAM) of habitual sitting posture were accomplished before and after the intervention for both groups. Wilcoxon´s signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess intra- and between group differences respectively. The relationship between pain intensity and CV-angle was assessed using Spearman's rank-order correlation.
