Sitting disability

A sitting disability is a condition in which a person has difficulties sitting or is unable to do so at all; usually due to pain. This can affect people who face little or no chronic problems with standing, as well as those who do, such as mobility aid users.

It is also known as reduced ability to sit, sitting problems or inability to sit.

Sitting disability has generally been an unrecognized disability.[1] It is also not a well known concept, though the symptoms themselves are common for people with Hidradenitis Suppurativa,[2][3][4][5][6] and severe back pain. The disabilities usually mentioned in research and legal documents are reduced mobility and visual or auditory impairments.
