This was a virtual dodgeball intervention to elicit increased lumbar spine flexion. Virtual dodgeball increased lumbar flexion within and across gameplay sessions. Safety and feasibility of novel intervention for back pain was shown. Brief intervention did not translate to movements outside of the virtual environment. This study provided support for a clinical trial with a longer intervention period.
