“…Nirmal et al [97] also provided justification that environmental aspects, even time spent learning, affected MSD issues in students' upper and lower arms, back, palms, buttocks, shoulders, and neck. Paradina and Prasetyo [98] also provided similar findings. The study by Ayyildiz and Taskin Gumus [19] provided highlights on the different environmental factors that affected students' online learning experience such as the design of the workstation, noise, temperature, and illumination levels.…”

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, students face intolerable mental and physical discomfort when taking online classes, directly impacting their learning motivation and academic performance. Related studies indicated that students had negative sentiments regarding online learning. This may be an alarming notion for students, particularly regarding their learning ability and participation in school. To overcome this nuisance, the primary objective of this study was to examine the factors affecting students’ learning motivation and academic performance during online learning using a novel framework of ergonomic appraisal. A total of 316 respondents answered the online questionnaire using a purposive sampling approach through social media platforms. Ergonomic-based indicators for physical, cognitive, and macro-ergonomics were analyzed simultaneously using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that the design of the workstation, the use of LMS, access to technology, teaching delivery, temperature level, and visual learning style were found to significantly influence students’ learning motivation, which then impacts the student’s academic performance. Thus, it is essential for those who are facilitating distance learning to keep in mind the factors that could motivate the student. As a result, this paper becomes an avenue to help appropriately plan the course program to ensure its viability and productively engage the students since online learning is becoming increasingly necessary. Further, this article also provides recommendations and implications on assisting schools, educators, and students in aiding a student’s learning motivation and academic performance.

“…students can shed light on the knowledge-application gap. 13 MSK discomfort persists among PT students despite academic preparations, highlighting the need to investigate this knowledge gap. In the Philippines, there is a lack of extensive research investigating the connection between ergonomic knowledge and its practical application, especially in professions like PT.…”

IntroductionThe abrupt transition of the mode of learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an increase in complaints of musculoskeletal (MSK) discomfort among students in Higher Education Institutions (HEI). Inadequate physical space and equipment are one major cause of these complaints. Among HEIs, physical therapy (PT) students have sufficient background in managing MSK discomforts. However, this does not prevent them from experiencing pain and discomfort during online classes. This analytical cross-sectional study aims to determine the correlation between ergonomic knowledge and MSK discomfort among first-year to fourth-year PT students.Methods and analysisThe study will use two questionnaires, theErgonomic Knowledge Questionnaire,and theCornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire,that determine the level of ergonomic knowledge and MSK discomfort, respectively. This will be disseminated to 144 students through google forms. Results will then be analysed using Pearson Correlation Test. The study anticipates a correlation between the level of ergonomic knowledge and MSK discomfort among the participants.Ethics and disseminationThe study has been approved by the University of Santo Tomas-College of Rehabilitation Sciences Ethics Review Committee. The participants will receive the results prior to publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.Trial registration numberPhilippine Health Research Registry with registry ID PHRR230216-005443.

“…However, the use of the different types of DDS can generate severe health effects, among which are ergonomic risks, such as musculoskeletal disorders, visual problems, and mental fatigue, among others, and whose probability of experiencing them is directly related to the frequency and duration of the periods of use, the intensity and degree of attention required to carry out an activity. 7 The use of various screens has been an action that increased during the COVID-19 Pandemic, particularly among students around the world, generating persistent health risks, which has been the subject of attention for several investigations worldwide (Akulwar-Tajane et al 8 and Paradina & Prasetyo 9 ) and in Mexico as that of Realyvásquez-Vargas et al 10 in which the impact of taking online classes and its relationship with musculoskeletal disorders is evaluated. However, these investigations have only been based on identifying the symptoms and causes that are established with the excessive use of screens, mentioning in a general way about the mechanical disorders that can occur, and are not in charge of emphasizing precisely the type of alterations, the area, and their location.…”

Introduction: the WHO in March 2020 declared COVID-19 as a pandemic, with the pronouncement that social distancing will be applied, then the lifestyle had to change, including learning activities that had to migrate to online using data display screens (DDS). However, prolonged use can generate severe health effects such as musculoskeletal disorders. Objective: analyze and correlate the different musculoskeletal disorders with prolonged use of DDS, as well as identify the possible injuries or postural modifications in university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods: a cohort study was conducted with 65 students according to the selection criteria applied. X-ray plates (AP and lateral cervical spine) were taken from each of the participants. The radiological markings were carried out to assess and identify the presence of biomechanical alterations; comparisons were also made according to the use of DDS. Results: among the different types of DDS that the participants used, the highest percentage was for the smartphone, which they used in their bedroom for 9 to 10 hours per day. According to the ratio between the cervical angle and depth measurement, 75.4% of participants presented hypolordosis, and 72.3% presented extension or posteriority of C1. Conclusions: we demonstrated the presence of biomechanical alterations in the cervical spine derived from the prolonged use of DDS in university students, mainly in those who use smartphones for 8 to 10 hours. There is a significant correlation between the radiological markings of the cervical angle and the depth measurement, and a decrease in cervical curvature (hypolordosis). ResumenIntroducción: la OMS declaró como pandemia al COVID-19 en marzo de 2020, con el pronunciamiento de que se aplicará el distanciamiento social, entonces el estilo de vida tuvo que cambiar, incluyendo actividades de aprendizaje que tuvieron que migrar a online usando pantallas de visualización de datos (DDS, por sus siglas en inglés); sin embargo, el uso prolongado de éstas puede generar graves efectos en la salud, como trastornos musculoesqueléticos. Objetivo: analizar y correlacionar los diferentes trastornos musculoesqueléticos con el uso prolongado de DDS, así como identificar las posibles lesiones o modificaciones posturales en estudiantes universitarios durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio de cohorte con 65 estudiantes según los criterios de selección aplicados. Se tomaron placas de rayos X (AP y columna cervical lateral) de cada uno de los participantes. Se realizaron los marcajes radiológicos para evaluar e identificar las alteraciones biomecánicas, también se hicieron comparaciones según el uso de DDS. Resultados: entre los diferentes tipos de DDS que utilizaron los participantes, el mayor porcentaje de uso lo tuvo
