Although the relationship between the back pain in adolescents and in adults is well recognized and the presence of this disorder in adolescence increases its persistent in adulthood [25] this health problem has been neglected in developing countries, and more research on it is needed [26] Non-specific back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and poor posture among school children are topics of increasing significance in the literature and were mostly related to overloaded caused by heavy schoolbags [27]. Adolescent spine is in critical stage of development.…”

Abstract:Back pain is currently growing as a major health problem among school age group children, which can limit or hinder their daily life activities. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of school bag use, postural and behaviors habits on back pain occurrence among school children. Descriptive correlation design was used. This study was conducted at ten governmental preparatory schools from both rural and urban schools in Menouf district, Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. Random sample of 598 preparatory school children including 239 boys and 359 girls aged between 12-15 years of both rural and urban selected schools. Tools: Self-administered structured questionnaire, back pain assessment questionnaire, back pain & body posture evaluation instrument, behavioral habits questionnaire, school bag use questionnaire, and physiological measurements. The main results showed that 74.1% of the studied schoolchildren had suffered from back pain. Female students had significant risk of suffering from back pain by five times than male students. Among school children with back pain, 51.3% had reported moderate pain, the most affected area by pain was shoulder and about one fourth (24.4%) reported that the pain prevented them from performing daily activities. The mean weight of schoolbag carried by all school children was 7.46+ 2. 62 kg and the mean school bag weight as % of body weight was 14.36% ± 4.22. There was significant relationship between back pain and school bag weight, % of body weight, method and duration of carriage. Also, there was a significant relationship between back pain and improper sitting posture for writing, using computer, and sitting in classroom. The study was concluded that back pain among studied school children was high and the pain influences activities of daily life in about one fourth of students. Most of school children carry school bags more than the recommended weights of their body weight. It was associated with sex, parents' history of back pain, duration of sedentary activities, improper posture adopted in performing daily activities, weight of schoolbag, method & duration of carrying schoolbag. Recommendations: The need for developing and implementing of preventative programs in schools about proper postures during daily activities and guidelines for school bag usage.

Abstract--The objective of this study was to verify the short-and long-term effectiveness of the Elementary School Postural Program in the performance, generalization, and perception of daily school activities. The final sample consisted of 61 subjects divided into experimental (14 years ±0.93; ♀=22; ♂=10) and control group (15.38 years ±0.97; ♀=16; ♂=13), all participants attended a Brazilian public school in Porto Alegre, State of Rio Grande do Sul. The postural program included 20 sessions over a 10-week period. In each session, participants discussed and practiced routine actions that typically occurred at schools. Eight other meetings were required for the completion of the pre-and post-tests. The experimental group performed significantly better than the control group in the shortterm evaluations, although there were no significant statistical differences in the long-term follow-up evaluations. The children demonstrated a good behavioral response to the postural program; nevertheless, the knowledge had not been completely mastered after a year.Keywords: posture, postural balance, exercise movement techniques Resumo--"Programa de educação postural para o ensino fundamental: um estudo follow-up de um ano." O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a eficiência em curto e longo prazo da escola postural para o ensino fundamental na performance, generalização e percepção das atividades escolares diárias. A amostra final foi composta de 61 participantes divididos em grupos experimental (14 anos ±0,93; ♀=22; ♂=10) e controle (15,38 anos ±0.97; ♀=16; ♂=13), todos provenientes de uma escola pública de Porto Alegre, RS. O programa postural foi composto de 20 sessões, totalizando 10 semanas. Em cada sessão os participantes do grupo experimental discutiram e praticaram as atividades escolares diárias. Além desses encontros outros 8 foram necessários para a realização dos pré e pós testes. O grupo experimental foi significativamente melhor que o controle nas avaliações em curto prazo, contudo não foi observada diferença significativa na avaliação de longo prazo. As crianças parecem apresentar boa resposta comportamental ao programa, mas esse conhecimento não foi incorporado ao longo de um ano.Palavras-chave: postura, equilíbrio postural, técnicas de exercício e de movimento Resumen--"Programa de educación postural para la escuela primaria: un estudio follow-up de un año."

“…Esses fatores podem gerar ou agravar hábitos posturais inapropriados levando a quadros dolorosos 22 . Em vista disso, surge a necessidade de avaliações dinâmicas e estáticas da postura desses jovens, assim como a implantação de programas de educação postural, na escola com o objetivo de permitir que o estudante seja capaz de proteger suas estruturas musculoesqueléticas de lesões no contexto da vida diária e estudantil, seja em posições estáticas ou dinâmicas 18,23 .

Prevalence of pain in adolescent students from two schools in the city of Garibaldi/RS ABSTRACTThe objective was to identify the regions of occurrence, intensity and frequency of pain in adolescent students from two schools in the city of Garibaldi/RS. A questionnaire (IDC) was used consisting of an illustration of the human body and three closed questions to evaluate back pain. The IDC was administered to 688 adolescents, both sexes between 13 and 20 years old (mean age 15.6). The results demonstrated that the regions with the highest prevalence of pain for adolescents were lumbar (46.6%), shoulders (38.8%) and lower limbs (37.1%), whereas the mild intensity was predominant in three regions. There was a higher frequency of low back pain (46.9%), with 17% of adolescents reporting episode 1-4x per year of pain, followed by shoulder (40.4%), with 16.6% of adolescents referring pain 1-4x per month. This type of information is relevant because it contributes significantly for planning educational and preventive actions.
