| Abstract: |
| Objective: Assessment and attention to musculoskeletal disorders in different parts of the body, especially in students during corona quarantine should be considered. It is possible that neglecting to study the musculoskeletal disorders of students during this period can have negative and perhaps irreversible effects on their body structure. The main purpose of this study was to compare the prevalence and extent of upper cross syndrome in students of all levels of education during the coronavirus outbreak. Materials and Methods: The present study was a descriptive-comparative and purposeful study conducted in 2020-2021 on students of all levels of education. For this study, 150 students were considered who were selected in each level including elementary (50 people), junior high school (50) and secondary school (50 people) by cluster sampling according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The variables of forward head and forward shoulder anomalies were evaluated by photogrammetric method and evaluation of kyphosis anomaly by flexible ruler. One-way analysis of variance and LSD post hoc test were used to compare differences between groups. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24 at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that 50% of elementary school students, 58% of junior high school students and 76% of secondary school students reported postural abnormalities. The results of one-way analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference between the research groups (elementary, junior high and secondary school) in the variables head forward (P = 0.0001), shoulder forward (P = 0.0001) and kyphosis. (P = 0001). Conclusion: In general, the results showed a high prevalence and rate of forward head, shoulder forward and kyphosis anomalies in elementary, junior high and secondary school students. At this age, corrective measures should be considered by designing an evaluation, training, and correction program aimed at preventing the spread of musculoskeletal disorders. |
