Abstract:

Since its prevalence among kids and teenagers has grown recently, low back pain (LBP) has emerged as a significant public health issue [1,2]. It should be mentioned that the likelihood of developing LBP in adulthood is increased if it occurs throughout childhood and adolescence [2,4]. Nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) is the most prevalent type of LBP [1].When LBP first manifests in childhood or adolescence, it can have detrimental effects, including limiting daily living activities, preventing participation in sports and schoolrelated activities, and even leading to instances of absence. Modifying behavior during daily activities that can affect the back [5,6] is another way to promote back care. Some examples include making sure school backpacks are used correctly [9], maintaining consistent posture changes [5], correctly lifting weights from the floor [6], and enhancing sitting and standing postures for extended periods of time [5,6]. The lessons gained can be reinforced by teaching these behavioral adjustments and spreading awareness through physical activities related to back care and postural hygiene [5,6,10]. Clinical studies [11] and meta-analyses [12] have demonstrated the potent preventative impact of exercise and education in adults. An intriguing prospect is to modify this strategy for the younger demographic.The goal of the current study was to measure how preventative physiotherapy interventions affected children’s and teenagers’ behavior and knowledge regarding back care and NSLBP prevention.
