Abstract
Background: There is some evidence that involves the low back pain with sitting posture. To counteract these effects, it has been considered the seat tilt motion only in drivers activities, however it has found a lack of studies that relates it with office work. Objective: assess the influence of seat tilt motion on the perception of lumbar pain. Materials and methods: two treatments raised were a seat: a) with tilt motion and b) without tilt motion; studied in four office task: reading, writing, typing and surf the internet. As study responses were raised muscular activity, back posture, productive time and number of errors. Results: Only in typing, surf the internet and reading tasks there are a significant difference, that means that the seat tilt motion influence in the postural evaluation and productive time. Conclusions: Assess other variables as seat pressure to find more evidence.
