The impact of an ergonomic chair support pad was measured with the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) and the surface EMG Flexion-Relaxation Phenomenon test. The intent of the study was to determine if the Spine Buddy LT2 H/C ergonomic chair support impacted these variables for participants.
Efficacy
Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire form, and lower back motor unit action potential pattern during the surface EMG Flexion-Relaxation Phenomenon (FRP) test. The FRP test measures lower erector spinae muscle activity during a functional toe-touch task and is a common tool to measure back muscle coordination.

The Spine Buddy LT 2 H/C ergonomic chair support pad was connected to an office chair. Participants sat in the chair for 12 minutes at the end of their college student day (after approximately 6 hours of sitting in classrooms). The impact of the ergonomic pad on a musculoskeletal pain survey and a functional surface EMG test was monitored.

Results: Participants demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in neck (p=0.005) and low back (p=0.000) pain/discomfort using the product. The extension and flexion phases of the FRP test showed that participants were approaching a more pain-free profile.
Conclusions: In this study, the addition of an ice-pack cooled chair support product to an office chair demonstrated an ability to lower neck and low back pain or discomfort and normalize FRP test results short-term.
