What this Trial Is About
The spine is the central musculoskeletal system of the back. It carries and supports a major part of the body weight and ensures simultaneously the trunk's mobility, particularly the mobility of the lumbar spine and the head's mobility by moving the cervical spine. Back pain in the lumbar spine area is the most common kind of pain with a prevalence of 60 to 70 per cent in industrialized countries (Jellema2001).
