According to control group's paired samples test results; In all posture parameters were not found significant (p>0.05). According to results of independent t test values; experimental group's shoulder, scapula, abdominal and lumbal locals values were found significant (p<0.05), another local for experimental group and control groups of all values were not found significant (p>0.05).

Effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions for back care and the prevention of non-specific low back pain in children and adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…All papers compared an experimental group and a control group. After the identification process, twenty articles were selected [ 34 – 53 ]. Figure 1 shows the process of identification and selection of the studies.…”

“…The included studies were published between 2012 and 2020, all published in journals except for one conference presentation [ 38 ]. Eleven articles were RCTs [ 36 , 37 , 39 , 41 , 43 , 46 – 50 , 53 ] and nine were non-randomized controlled trials [ 34 , 35 , 38 , 40 , 42 , 44 , 45 , 51 , 52 ]. A cluster randomization were applied for all the RCT except one [ 50 ].…”

“…Regarding the type of intervention of the experimental groups, the most common was exercise, carried out in fifteen studies [ 34 , 35 , 37 , 38 , 41 , 42 , 44 , 46 – 53 ], followed by postural hygiene, carried out in nine studies [ 36 , 39 , 43 – 47 , 51 , 53 ], physical activity, carried out in six studies [ 34 , 41 , 44 , 50 – 52 ] and standing workstations in classroom, carried out in one study [ 40 ]. Exercise, postural hygiene and physical activity were combined in some studies.…”

Health questionnaire on back care knowledge and spine disease prevention for 6–10 years old children: development and psychometric evaluation
