“…Students typically spend many hours seated on non-ergonomic chairs and assuming incorrect postures to carry out their curricular activities, leading to a general musculoskeletal overload [5]. Furthermore, while spending much time using laptops and smartphones to study and support leisure activities, they adopt incorrect postures, leading to musculoskeletal alteration and pain, especially to the neck and the spine [6]. Haroon et al [7] reported a high incidence of MP in Karachi's university medical students, identifying the usage of laptops for more than three hours per day as a risk factor for neck pain.…”

The COVID-19 outbreak forced Italian students to reduce their daily activities, inducing a seden-tary attitude that was worsened by distanced learning. This study aimed to survey the physical activity levels that were maintained before and during the social restrictions following the pan-demic, their correlation to musculoskeletal pain, as well as analyzing the impact of these COVID-19 restrictions on pain and fatigue that affects daily life activities. A total of 2044 students completed the online questionnaire, of which the results of 1654 participants were eligible. Before the pandemic, the levels of physical activity were distributed as: 19.9% no activity, 30.1% light ac-tivity, 21.5% moderate activity, and 28.5% high activity. After one year of the pandemic, 30.6% of the participants were inactive, 48.1%, 10.9%, and 10.5% stated as maintaining, respectively, light, moderate and high levels of physical activity. Furthermore, 43.5% reported neck pain and 33.5% stated to experience low back pain. Physical activity levels lower than 150 min/week may have predisposed students to suffer from neck pain (1.95 OR at 95% CI, 1.44–2.64) and low back pain (1.79 OR at 95% CI, 1.29–2.49). A positive correlation between physical activity levels, Verbal Descriptive Scale (VDS), and pain frequency have been observed for neck and low back pain (p-value < 0.05). Finally, low physical activity levels were associated with musculoskeletal pain onset and pain worsening.

“…Chronic myofascial pain is common in the paediatric population and its prevalence has increased since the 1980s [139]. Musculoskeletal pain is a common cause of pain in adolescents, with incidence ranging from 30 to 65% [140][141][142][143][144], and is a leading cause of years lived with disability among children and adolescents [145]; 4% of all primary care consults represent musculoskeletal issues in children aged up to 15. Between 4 and 40% of adolescents report limb pain and 14-24% complain of Near indwelling mesh to minimise risk of infection.…”

Humans exhibit biotensegrity, whereby the whole body is a three-dimensional visco-elastic vehicle whatever position it adopts: bones form non-contact compression struts embedded in a networked and tensioned myofascial matrix; each part of the organism combines with the mechanical system to create an integrated functional movement unit and contributes to the stability of the whole system. When tissue at/below the dermis is breached by surgery/injury, healing leads to scar tissue formation. Scars can cause local and distant effects that are not purely cutaneous. Restriction of normal movement of underlying tissues from defective fascial sliding generates anomalous tension that affects the fascial continuum leading to distorted biomechanics, altered biotensegrity and chronic pain. Scars are common in children and significant contributors to chronic pain presentations. Scars can be released (soft tissue mobilization and/or needling) to sustainably improve pain, flexibility and range of motion. This chapter outlines the importance of skin and fascia in the biotensegrity model. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental need to assess scar history and scar characteristics to determine if scars should be treated as a component of multidisciplinary chronic pain management. Case studies outline some key clinical observations. Appropriately controlled research studies are required to fully demonstrate the highlighted benefits.

“…A principal hipótese é de que as mulheres se queixam mais e referem mais dor do que os homens, especialmente quando se trata de síndromes musculoesqueléticas amplificadas, e que isso pode ter relação com aspectos socioculturais. 2,3,6 .…”

“…A dor musculoesquelética foi acentuada em adolescentes do sexo feminino, conforme descrito em outros estudos 2,3,[5][6][7]12,14,35 Além disso, o questionário possui uma grande confiabilidade confirmada no teste-reteste para essa população, apontando uma real concordância entre as respostas do pré-teste e do reteste em um intervalo de cerca de trinta dias, como também foi demonstrado em outras publicações 2,3,5,6 .…”
