Improving self-management of Lower Back Pain in elderly with a core activity detecting belt

我们的目标是成为健康生活领域的世界知名可穿戴公司，提供支持和激励公众(包括老年人)锻炼/健身的技术。世界卫生组织表示，25%的成年人没有达到推荐的体力活动水平，这会使心脏病、中风和糖尿病的可能性增加20%-30%。因此，我们的系统将被用作一个可获得的指导工具，任何人在锻炼时缺乏动力和信心水平。你的工作将在头2-3年内专门研究下腰痛(LBP)，因为它是老年人中最常见的疼痛和残疾原因，目前英国有20%的人患有腰痛。然而，我们的目标是扩展到所有慢性疼痛领域，包括膝盖和臀部疼痛，为许多推荐锻炼的疼痛状况提供解决方案。我们的系统将是首批向所有人提供可获得和负担得起的运动动机和指导的系统之一，目的是减轻多种慢性病的负担，包括肌肉骨骼疾病、糖尿病和肥胖症。

We aim to become a world-renowned wearable company in the healthy living sector, providing technology to support and motivate exercise/fitness in the public, including older adults. The World Health Organisation suggests that 25% of adults do not meet the recommended physical activity levels, increasing the likelihood of heart disease, stroke and diabetes by 20-30%. Thus, our system will be used as an accessible guidance tool for anyone suffering from low motivation and confidence levels when exercising. ur work will specialise in low back pain (LBP) in the first 2-3 years, given it is the commonest cause of pain and disability amongst older adults, with 20% of the UK population currently suffering. However, we aim to branch out into all chronic pain areas, including knee and hip pain, providing a solution for many pain conditions where exercise is recommended. Our system will be one of the first to provide accessible and affordable exercise motivation and guidance to all, with the aim of reducing the burden of multiple chronic conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders, diabetes and obesity.
