Summary
Many students experience spinal column issues and foot alterations due to insufficient preventive measures in daily activities and healthcare practices. This study suggests optimal posture positions to address these common musculoskeletal problems.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical engineering
- Orthopedics
- Public health
Context:
- High prevalence of spinal column problems and foot alterations observed in student populations.
- Lack of preventive strategies in daily life activities and hospital practices contributes to these issues.
- Existing data suggests a correlation between daily habits and musculoskeletal health.
Purpose:
- To investigate the relationship between daily activities, hospital practices, and the high incidence of spinal and foot issues in students.
- To propose correct posture positions for principal daily postures to mitigate these health problems.
- To validate the hypothesis linking lifestyle factors to musculoskeletal conditions.
Summary:
- A significant percentage of students exhibit spinal column and foot abnormalities.
- Inadequate preventive care in daily routines and clinical settings exacerbates these conditions.
- The study identifies and recommends specific postural corrections for common daily activities.
Impact:
- Provides evidence-based recommendations for improving student musculoskeletal health.
- Highlights the importance of integrating preventive postural education into daily life and healthcare.
- Aims to reduce the long-term burden of spinal and foot conditions in young populations.
