In modern society, many tasks that require prolonged sitting demand a static posture. Persons suffering low back pain are estimated to be approximately 10% of the population, in Japan. We developed a device of lumbar lordotic continuous passive motion(CPM)to relieve low back pain in the prolonged sitting. Previously, we reported a device with an air bag for lumbar lordotic and test results using it. This paper reports that for the purpose of more effective result, we developed a new CPM device using two air bags for lumbar lordotic and thigh, and as the result of test in healthy male volunteers, we obtained superior results for the CPM device to that with an air bag, in view point of relieve low back pain.
