摘要:Low back pain (LBP) is a major societal burden as it is exceedingly common and extraordinarily difficult for clinicians to diagnose. New methods of diagnosis are required if meaningful strategies related to prevention and treatment are to be found. A new design technique known as Familiarization, Functionality and Testing (FFT) was applied in order to develop a solution. This functionality driven technique is well suited to problems where the designer is unfamiliar with the area of design. Through the application of this method, the designer was able to generate solutions to the problems that satisfied customer demands.
