“…In investigating the associated factors of this study, it was observed that individuals who had impact on HRQoL were mostly girls, with moderate or severe communication skills and poor general health, according to caregivers. The higher frequency of impact on HRQoL in girls with CP, although the lifestyle of individuals with CP is similar, regardless of gender, may be related to biological factors such as hormone production and differences in biological maturation …”

ObjectiveThis study was designed to evaluate the role of vitamin D, muscle fatigue biomarkers, and mechanical factors in the progression of low back pain (LBP) in schoolchildren.BackgroundChildren and adolescents frequently suffer from LBP with no clear clinical causes, and >71% of schoolchildren aged 12–17 years will show at least one episode of LBP.Materials and methodsA total of 250 schoolchildren aged 12–16 years were randomly enrolled in this study. For all schoolchildren height, weight, percentage of daily sun exposure and and areas of skin exposed to sun, method of carrying the bag, and bag weight and type were recorded over a typical school week. Pain scores, physical activity (PA), LBP, serum vitamin 25(OH)D level, serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities and calcium (Ca) concentrations were estimated using prevalidated Pain Rating Scale, modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire, short-form PA questionnaire, and colorimetric and immunoassay techniques.ResultsDuring the period of October 2013–May 2014, LBP was estimated in 52.2% of the schoolchildren. It was classified into moderate (34%) and severe (18%). Girls showed a higher LBP (36%) compared with boys (24%). In schoolchildren with moderate and severe LBP significantly higher (P=0.01) body mass index, waist, hip, and waist-to-hip ratio measurements were observed compared with normal schoolchildren. LBP significantly correlated with less sun exposure, lower PA, sedentary activity (TV/computer use), and overloaded school bags. In addition, schoolchildren with severe LBP showed lower levels of vitamin 25(OH)D and Ca and higher levels of CK, LDH, and serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase compared with moderate and healthy schoolchildren. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that age, gender, demographic parameters, PA, vitamin D levels, Ca, CK, and LDH associated with ~56.8%–86.7% of the incidence of LBP among schoolchildren.ConclusionIn children and adolescents, LBP was shown to be linked with limited sun exposure, inadequate vitamin D diets, adiposity, lower PA, sedentary lifestyles, vitamin 25 (OH) D deficiency, and lower levels of Ca, CK, and LDH.

“…Mesmo com a falta de um valor de referência exato para o peso das mochilas escolares, a grande parte dos profissionais consente que elas não devem exceder 10% da massa corporal do aluno. 17 De um total de 206 mochilas pesadas, 148 delas estavam acima dos 10% recomendados, o que equivale a 71,84% da população escolar avaliada.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: este estudo tem por finalidade explicitar as ações da fisioterapia nas escolas, analisando alguns dos dados coletados durante uma das práticas da disciplina, em escola privada do município de Santa Cruz do Sul-RS. Método: estudo de caráter descritivo, foi composto por 206 estudantes, com idades entre 6 e 10 anos, de ambos os sexos, sendo alunos do 1° ao 4º ano do Ensino Fundamental, distribuídos em 11 turmas, de uma escola privada. A abordagem consistiu na "Educação Postural" no ambiente escolar e nas atividades de vida diárias, aplicação de um questionário de múltipla escolha que englobava a avaliação do aspecto biopsicossocial do aluno. Foi feita a avaliação postural estática, assim como da postura de cada escolar frente ao mobiliário em sala de aula, através de análise observacional individual, sendo realizada a pesagem dos alunos, das mochilas e o ajuste das mesmas também foi realizada. Resultados: a amostra foi composta por 206 estudantes do 1º ao 4º ano do Ensino Fundamental. com idade entre seis e 10 anos, de ambos os sexos. Os achados provenientes do questionário nos forneceram informações acerca da realidade de vida de cada aluno avaliado. Em relação às avaliações posturais realizadas, foram evidenciados quatro casos de escoliose em "C" na coluna lombar e um em "S", já na coluna torácica foram encontrados sete casos de escoliose em "C". O mobiliário se mostrou inadequado para a maioria dos estudantes e em relação ao peso das mochilas, 148 delas estavam acima dos 10% do peso corporal do aluno. Considerações finais: existe um vasto campo de atuação para a Fisioterapia Preventiva, dentre eles, a avaliação e intervenção na saúde na escola. As metodologias utilizadas na disciplina para esta prática possibilitaram o aprendizado e a [re] significação da prevenção na Fisioterapia, uma profissão fortemente enraizada na reabilitação.
