Prolonged sitting-induced back pain influences abdominal muscle thickness in a sitting but not a supine position

Abstract The current study explored whether (i) abdominal muscle thickness differed between non-painful supine and painful sitting positions and (ii) the sitting position was more reliable and useful than the supine position to discriminate between people with and without prolonged sitting-induced l...
