“…This result was in agreement with [36,43] they revealed that back pain was not significant associated with age of children and adolescents. On the contrary, other studies by [6,7,44] showed a significant association between age and frequency of occurrence of back pain in which a significant increase in prevalence as age increases. This difference may be related to variation in age group.…”

“…Similarly to the result of [28] who stated that over half of students remain in a sitting position at least 8 hours per day in a sedentary activity, making it a risk factor for the occurrence of back pain. In contrast, a study conducted among adolescents aged 10-17 years by [44] who showed that the time spent doing sedentary activities did not present any relationship with lumbar pain. This difference may be related to various amounts of time spent in sedentary activities in other studies.…”

“…This finding was in line with [46,36] they reported that there was no significant relation between physical or sports activities and back pain. On the contrary, another study conducted by [44] confirmed significant association between physical activity level and back pain. This difference in results may be due to different levels of practice and intensity of training between studies or different methods of analysis used in these studies.…”

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.

“…Hypermobility of such joints generates joint instability and consequent overload on stabilizing ligaments and muscles which, associated to increased weight, determine musculoskeletal system overload, pull the spine anteriorly and determine low back pain 1,3,4 . In non-pregnant women, lumbo-pelvic instability is a relevant factor for the genesis of low back pain, because musculoskeletal system unbalance leads to lack of dynamic stability and consequent overload of musculoskeletal structures 5 . Abdominal muscles are major stabilizers so the weaker these muscles, the more severe will be the joint instability and consequently more severe low back pain 5,6 .…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:To evaluate and compare the presence and size of recti abdominis diastasis in the second and third gestational trimester and to correlate them to lumbar pain incidence and intensity. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional observational study with 128 pregnant women divided in two groups: 53 pregnant women in the second gestational trimester and 75 pregnant women in the third gestational trimester. Lumbar pain was evaluated with Roland Morris questionnaire and Pain Visual Analog Scale. Recti abdominis diastasis was measured with a caliper rule. Data were analyzed according to Spearman correlation and Mann--Whitney U test. RESULTS:Comparison between groups has shown that pregnant women in the third gestational trimester had more recti abdominis diastasis, more reports of severe lumbar pain by the visual analog scale (p=0.0017) and further impact on daily life activities (p=0.0012). There has been positive correlation between recti abdominis diastasis size and scores obtained by Roland Morris questionnaire and visual analog scale. CONCLUSION: Recti abdominis diastasis size, pain intensity and incapacity determined by low back pain were more severe in pregnant women in the third gestational trimester. Keywords: Low back pain, Physiotherapy, Pregnant women, Quality of life, Rectus abdominis. RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS:Avaliar e comparar a ocorrência e dimensão da diástase dos músculos retos abdominais nos segundo e terceiro trimestres gestacionais e correlacioná-las com presença e intensidade da dor lombar. Does abdominal diastasis influence lumbar pain during gestation?A MÉTODOS:Estudo observacional do tipo transversal com 128 gestantes, divididas em dois grupos: 53 gestantes no segundo trimestre gestacional e 75 gestantes no terceiro trimestre gestacional. Utilizou-se para avaliar a dor lombar o questionário Roland Morris e a escala analógica visual da dor. A mensuração da diás-tase dos músculos retos abdominais foi realizada com auxílio de um paquímetro. Os dados foram analisados segundo a correlação de Spearman e teste U de Mann-Whitney. RESULTADOS: A comparação dos grupos demonstrou que as gestantes do terceiro trimestre apresentavam maior diástase abdominal, mais relatos de dor lombar intensa por meio da escala analógica visual p=0,0017 e maior impacto nas atividades da vida diária (p=0,0012). A correlação foi positiva entre a dimensão da diástase dos músculos retos abdominais e os escores obtidos no questionário Roland Morris e na escala analógica visual. CONCLUSÃO: A dimensão da diástase dos músculos retos abdominais, a intensidade da dor e a incapacidade determinadas pela lombalgia foram maiores nas gestantes do terceiro trimestre gestacional.

Background and Objective Motor performance during childhood and adolescence is recognized as a relevant determinant of present and future health, but its effects on back pain (BP) remain unclear. In this systematic review, we aimed to identify the association between motor performance and BP in children and adolescents. Databases and Data Treatment A literature search was performed in the MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, SPORTDiscus and CINAHL databases. We included cross‐sectional, cohort, case‐control and controlled clinical trials (data from control groups). The inclusion criteria were as follows: (a) participants aged 6–19 years; (b) assessment motor performance components; (c) assessment of BP and (d) reported measures of association. The risk of bias was assessed by the Downs and Black instrument and the quality of evidence by the grading of recommendations, assessment, development and evaluation (GRADE). Results A total of 2360 articles were identified, 25 of which were included in our systematic review. Of the 25 studies, 19 were evaluated as having a low risk of bias. GRADE indicated that 20 studies presented low or very low quality. Most of the studies evaluated flexibility (n = 16), muscle endurance (n = 18) and muscle strength (n = 9). Aerobic capacity, balance and speed were also examined in some studies (n < 5). Overall, motor performance (flexibility, muscle endurance, muscle strength, aerobic capacity, balance and speed) was not associated with BP. Most of the results were inconsistent because of the lack of studies, risk of bias and low quality of evidence. Only trunk extensor muscle endurance was associated with decreased BP with moderate quality of the supporting evidence. Prospective studies with a low risk of bias are warranted to further clarify this relationship in childhood and adolescence and findings may support more targeted and effective health promotion interventions. Significance This systematic review shows that motor performance (flexibility, muscle endurance, muscle strength, aerobic capacity, balance and speed) was not associated with BP in children and adolescents. Most of the results were inconsistent because of the lack of studies, risk of bias and low quality of evidence. Only trunk extensor muscle endurance was associated with decreased BP with moderate quality of supporting evidence.
