“…Epidemiological study reported that back pain was experienced by 76.2% of children and youth aged [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] from the area of the Southeast of Poland [6]. In Egypt, a cross-sectional study was conducted among Egyptian school girls aged 11-14 years by [10] showed that the prevalence of back pain was high (45.8).…”

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.

“…В даний час статистика захворювань школярів свідчить про те, що серед функціональних розладів і захворювань дуже поширені порушення опорно-рухової системи [5,11,12]. Найбільш частими з них є різні форми порушення постави, що, за даними різних фахівців, складають від 33,4 до 72 % дитячої популяції [3,9,12,13]. Дослідження М. Е. Криворучко свідчать, що у школярів порушення постави зустрічаються частіше, ніж сколіози у 3-6 разів, а поширеність їх зростає у дітей з 1-го класу до переходу до предметного навчання у 5-6 разів [6].…”

While studying the adaptive capacity of the autonomic nervous system of 65 students aged 7-10 years with posture disorders, in 63,1 % of children pathological types of vegetative reactivity were revealed, which were more frequent in the original sympathicotonia: hypersympathicotonic type BP in 51,3 % of patients and simpaticotonici type-in 36,9 %. The pathological type of response indicates a decline in reserve capacity of the autonomic regulation and stress adaptive mechanisms.

BACKGROUND:Nowadays, a large number of students experience spinal pain quite early in life due to heavy school bag loads. Moreover, external forces in the form of school bags may influence the normal growth, development of children and adolescents, and also maintenance of alignment of their bodies, which can pose a huge threat to postural integrity under external load. Awareness about the appropriate load and placement of backpack is thought to be important in reducing musculoskeletal complications among children's.METHODS:A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to determine the influence of postural deviations due to backpack load among school children's. Electronic databases were searched, and a reference list of retrieved articles were relevant to postural changes among school children with the backpack were screened. Reviewers graded the papers according to Lloyd-Smith's hierarchy of evidence scale. Papers were quality appraised using a modified Crombie tool.RESULTS:Twelve papers were identified for inclusion in this review. Methodological difference limited our ability to collate evidence.CONCLUSION:Most of the articles recommended that backpack load limit for school children should be 10–15% of body weight. However, the appropriate load limit for school children is limited due to lack of articles, the low hierarchy of evidence, and small sample size. This review constrains the use of published literature to inform good load limit of school pack among the school children.
