In order to provide lumbar lordotic continuous passive motion (CPM) a pneumatic device was developed. This device includes a lumbar support bladder, which is cyclically inflated and deflated by a pump and valve system. This system is controlled by a timer and by pressure feedback from the bladder. The user selects cycle duration and peak support pressure. Further research is needed to determine whether this promising new strategy against low back pain can reduce occupational disability due to sitting intolerance.
