To examine the immediate effect of the abdominal drawing-in maneuver on stature change in seated sedentary workers with chronic low back pain.
Evaluated sedentary desk workers experiencing chronic low back pain during seated postures.
Applied the abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) targeting deep core stabilizers including the transversus abdominis and lumbar multifidus.
Measured stature height changes alongside baseline evaluations with the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire and Numerical Rating Scale.
Execution of the abdominal drawing-in maneuver leads to immediate measurable stature changes in seated individuals.
Contraction of deep abdominal stabilizers alters spinal loading and counteracts seated compressive forces in chronic low back pain sufferers.

Implication

Interventional study reveals immediate stature recovery using the abdominal drawing-in maneuver in sedentary workers with chronic back pain, suggesting spinal decompression benefits.

Abstract

ADIM: abdominal drawing-in maneuver; RA: rectus abdominis; ICLT: iliocostalis lumborum pars thoracis; LM: lumbar multifidus; TrA: transversus abdominis; IO: internal oblique; CLBP: chronic low back pain; LBP: low back pain; RMDQ: Roland Morris disability questionnaire; NRS: numerical rating scale.
