Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the DaSuit® cushion helps reduce discomfort caused by sitting in adults with non-specific low back pain. It will also assess the safety and physical effects of using the DaSuit® cushion. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the DaSuit® cushion distribute the pressure evenly on both under-buttock pressure compared to a placebo cushion? 2. Does the DaSuit® cushion improve spinal alignment compared to a placebo cushion? 3. What discomfort or adverse events do participants experience when using the DaSuit® cushion? Researchers will compare the DaSuit® cushion to a placebo cushion (a look-alike cushion without therapeutic effect) to see if the DaSuit® cushion works to relieve sitting-induced discomfort. Participants will: 1. Use the DaSuit® cushion or a placebo cushion in a randomized order, with each sitting session lasting 10 minutes 2. Complete both conditions with a 10-minute washout period between sessions 3. Sit on a standardized wooden chair with a pressure sensor mat placed on the cushion surface 4. Keep a fixed posture with hips, knees, and ankles at approximately 90 degrees 5. Watch a 10-minute video on a tablet positioned 30-40 cm in front of them at a 5-10 degree downward angle to maintain a steady gaze 6. Undergo spinal imaging immediately after each session, maintaining the same seated posture 7. Report any discomfort or pain experienced during or after each session
