“…Though teaching activities are same in both male and female teachers however anatomical, biomechanical and psychological differences may be the reason that female teachers are more prone to neck pain [3,[17][18][19]. Moreover, there are reports that females have more sedentary life style as compared to male which may cause more musculoskeletal problems in female than male [20][21][22].…”

Purpose Neck pain is common among school teachers due to regular involvement in teaching activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the neck Pain & disability among school teachers and its association with gender, body mass index, classes per week and method of lecture delivery. Methods A cross sectional study was conducted in Peshawar Pakistan from August 2017 to February 2018. A self administered questionnaire was used to collect demographic and teaching related information while Neck Disability Index (NDI) was used to assess neck disability. School teachers having at least 1 year teaching experience were included in the study. Teachers involved in administrative activities and/or having any systemic disease or co-morbidity were excluded. SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data. Results Mean age of the participants was 31.99±6.93. There were 110 (39.6%) male and 168 (60.4%) female participants. Out of total participants, 99(35.6%) teachers reported that they had neck pain. Majority (n=188, 67.6%) of participants had no neck pain related disability while 63 (22.7%) had mild, 22 (7.9%) had moderate and 5 (1.8%) had severe disability. None of the participants had complete disability. Female gender was significantly associated (P-value<0.05) with neck pain and disability. Conclusion Prevalence of neck pain is high among school teachers. Female teachers and those who take more than 10 classes per week are more prone to developing neck pain.

“…While not described in the pediatric literature, there is published literature about a correlation between back pain, knee pain, and flatfeet [11,12]. Heightened awareness of the change in kinematics caused by flexible pes planus is needed, as this can cause a constellation of lower extremity symptoms in multiple anatomic locations [13,14].…”

BackgroundPediatric patients often present with vague complaints involving the anterolateral foot and ankle, the medial knee, the lower back, and the hip. In our experience, closer examination of these patients reveals a constellation of symptoms that involve pathology in the ankle, knee, back, and hip. This study aimed to detail the identification and treatment of patients with the triad of flexible flat feet, tight Achilles complex, and altered gait, and their clinical course over time. MethodsAll patients of age 18 years or younger who presented to our urban academic center outpatient clinic with foot, ankle, patellar, low back, or hip pain or pathology were included. Patients with identified tarsal coalitions, accessory naviculars, malalignment syndrome, bone cysts or tumors, soft tissue tumors, arthropathy, neuropathy, infection, limb length inequality, patellar subluxation or dislocation, or spinal pathology were excluded. For each patient, demographic information, symptom description, treatment, and clinical course, including the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) was recorded. ResultsA total of 62 patients were included in our study. Patients mostly presented with low back pain (n=24, 38.7%), medial patellar pain (n=36, 58.1%), anterolateral ankle pain (n=35, 56.5%), and vague foot pain (n=13, 21.0%). Overall, 53.8% of patients with back pain at the initial visit, 35.0% of patients with knee pain, 44.4% of patients with ankle pain and 80.0% of patients with foot pain improved at final follow up. While patient-reported sports and recreation subscale scores demonstrated a significant improvement at the final follow-up compared to baseline scores (p=0.02), all other scores did not significantly differ compared to baseline scores. At final follow-up, 12 of 26 (46.2%) patients reported being able to return to play in their desired sport. ConclusionComplaints of back, hip, knee, ankle, or foot pain in the pediatric population can be early markers for a constellation of conditions that include low back pain, flexible flat feet, Achilles contracture, and altered gait due to increased lateral subluxation of the patella and hip flexion.
