| Abstract |
Many studies have measured stature change arising from loads imposed on the spine during sitting.
To improve stature recovery, it is important to stabilise the lumbar spine and compensate
forces from the upper body. The abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) technique has been
found to mainly activate deep trunk muscles. The purpose of this study was to determine
whether activation of deep trunk muscles by the ADIM technique could immediately improve
stature recovery during prolonged sitting. Twenty-four patients with chronic low back pain
(CLBP) were randomly allocated into different orders of experimental conditions: control (sitting
without ADIM technique) and intervention conditions (sitting with ADIM technique). The latter
condition required participants to complete ADIM technique for 1 min and repeat it three times
throughout 41 min prolonged sitting time. Stature recovery was improved by 3.292mm in the
intervention condition compared with control condition (p-value = 0.001). Our finding demonstrated
that ADIM technique improved stature recovery. |
