Low back pain and pelvic floor dysfunction among bike riders: A literature review

Bikers frequently experience lower back pain (LBP) as a result of repetitive motion. The stretched, contracted stance adopted by bike riders during pedaling can lead to the development of lumbar back pain due to the increased mechanical strain exerted on the lumbar spine. One possible method of preventing and treating bike rider’s low back discomfort is to adjust the bike’s settings based on the rider’s unique anthropometric data. This study includes a narrative literature review about the prevalence of LBP in bike riders, the features of LBP in bike riders, and possible risk factors for LBP in bike riders. Among motorbike riders, the self-reported annual incidence of LBP was 42.9% in the cross-sectional research, with a lifetime prevalence of 50.7%. Bike riders reported LBP an average of 1.38 hours after setting out. Overuse pain in the lower back is a common complaint among bikers. published by the Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES)
