“…Alian et al conducted a cross-sectional study of the prevalence and risk factors of neck and back pain and its impact on the degree of disability in daily living and quality of life of 382 students at Zagazig University School of Medicine. The study showed that subjects with mild NP had a minimal degree of disability in daily activities and a good quality of life, whereas subjects with moderate and severe NP had a more severe form of disability in daily activities and a very poor quality of life (27).…”

Introduction: Neck pain (NP) may have a local mechanical (non-specific) origin caused by dysfunction of the joint, muscle, and ligament structures in the neck or by a discogenic etiology. Most people (50–60%) suffer from NP at some point in their lives. They are more common in highly developed countries and in urban areas. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of NP and its impact on daily living activities in the student population. Methods: The study included students of the University of Sarajevo - Faculty of Health Studies in the period from May 2021 to June 2021. The sample of respondents was formed by the method of random selection and included respondents of both sexes, aged 19–28 years. The study was conducted as a transversal cross-sectional study at a specific time point on the frequency of NP and the ability to perform activities of daily living in the student population. Results: Out of the total number of 255 respondents, 77 (30.2%) reported that they have NP while 178 (69.8%) respondents reported that they do not feel NP and it was found that there was no statistically significant difference between the age groups of the subjects with and without NP. The study concluded that a higher percentage of respondents with NP did not engage in leisure activities and that respondents with NP had lower mobility in daily life, sleep disturbance, and poorer ability to perform activities of daily living due to NP. Conclusion: The study conducted revealed that a significant percentage of the student population with NP has a lower ability to perform activities of daily living. Considering the above facts and the current transformation of the educational model, in which static postures dominate, it is necessary to design and implement programs for targeted physical activity and prevention of long-term inactivity that leads to painful musculoskeletal syndromes.

“…Likewise, according to the existing literature, several studies have shown that university students are no strangers to suffering from such pain. Such is the case that, concerning medical school students, in a study conducted in Egypt, it was found that the most frequent area of pain was the neck and lower back at 81.1%, followed by the neck with 74.4% and the back with 73.1% (Alian et al 2021). Similarly, another study conducted in Israel found that 80% of students suffered from neck pain, 60% from upper back, and 33.3% from shoulder pain (Kaufman-Cohen et al 2018).…”

Background: Musculoskeletal pain is a problem many workers suffer worldwide, triggering more severe diseases and decreased quality of life. In addition, several studies have shown that university students are no strangers to suffering from these pains, and it is known that more and more of them report pains in different body areas. Therefore, this study aims to determine undergraduate students' risk factors associated with musculoskeletal pain. Methodology: A systematic literature review followed the process proposed in the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. The searches were conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, and Scielo, obtaining 3311 articles, of which 89 were included for this review. Results: Of the 38 possible risk factors, five factors were evaluated, and it was found that physical activity, time in front of a screen, and having a history or family history of musculoskeletal pain/trauma do represent a risk factor, while no association was found for gender and time in a sedentary position. Conclusion: Three risk factors for the presence of musculoskeletal pain were found in the review. In turn, there is little existing literature on COVID-19 and its effect on the presence of musculoskeletal pain and associated risk factors in undergraduate students, so it is advisable to conduct further research in this context.

“…Since medical students experience LBP with high prevalence [8] as a result of long training hours, physical stress and prolonged sitting with faulty posture so, it is essential to find out what is the effect of lumbar posture on flexion-relaxation phenomenon among students with CNSLBP.…”

Background: Low Back Pain (LBP) is the mosthighly prevalent musculoskeletal disorder. Now, it can be considered the most common cause of disability in the world. Strongconnections have been reported between low back pain prevalence and disturbance of back muscle flexion relaxation phenomenon (FRP). Aim of Study:To determine the effect of lumbar posture on back muscles flexion relaxation phenomenon during sitting in chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) among faculty of physical therapy students. Conclusion:Lumbar posture has asignificant effect on erector spinae activation and consequently the flexionrelaxation phenomenon among students withchronic nonspecific low back pain.
