Therefore it would be noticed that improper sitting can be accounted as a cause of muscle-skeletal pain in boy students based on bad postures during sitting.Ĭonclusion: According to the results, the posture of students while sitting in class is inadequate and harmful. Results: The result indicated significant relationship between bending and rotation angles with both neck and back pain (P≤0.05). All statistical calculations performed using SPSS version 21. The ETA correlation coefficient also was used to identify the relationship between variables. The statistical calculations were applied by Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test.

Moreover, the kinovea software was used to analyze the flexion and rotation angle during sitting. The back and neck pain were collected using a modified Nordic questionnaire. The anthropometric characteristics of subjects including height, weight, etc., were measured with a standard tool. Two video cameras were recorded 30 minutes of sitting position for every student. 60 students were selected as a sample group based on random-cluster method.

Methods: In this correlation study, the population consisted of all boy students in the primary city of Birjand. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between posture and musculoskeletal pain in boys 9 to 13 years old. Background: Undesirable sit-up and deviation from desirable status is one of the factors affecting the health of students in the classroom.
