Low back pain affects approximately 80% of the population at some point in their life. The low back is the most frequently injured body area, has the highest average compensation costs, and results in more global disability than any other condition. Evidence suggests that the primary cause of low back pain is through mechanical exposure associated with everyday activities and industrial tasks. While tasks involving heavy lifting are often linked with low back pain, innocuous sedentary tasks such as prolonged standing or sitting have also been associated with low back pain. However, there is little understanding of how these sedentary, and seemingly benign tasks can result in injuries to the low back.

下背痛影响大约80%的人口在他们生命中的某个时候。下背部是最常受伤的身体部位，平均赔偿成本最高，导致的全球残疾比任何其他疾病都多。有证据表明，腰痛的主要原因是通过与日常活动和工业任务相关的机械暴露。虽然涉及举重的任务通常与腰痛有关，但无害的久坐任务，如长时间站立或坐着，也与腰痛有关。然而，很少有人了解这些久坐不动，看似良性的任务如何导致下背部受伤。
