Wearable optical sensor for low back pain monitoring

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the major issues related to health problems among adults especially people of working age range. Manual therapy is one of the approaches in treating LBP, aside from exercise, biofeedback, relaxation, massage, and rehabilitation. It is often conducted by physiotherapist...

Manual therapy is one of the approaches in treating LBP, aside from exercise, biofeedback, relaxation, massage, and rehabilitation.
