Effects of an online school-based intervention on postural education knowledge in primary school teachers: The PEPE Study

Abstract

[eng] Low back pain (LBP) is one of the major health problems worldwide (Steffens et al., 2016) affecting population of all ages and is the leading cause of disability in the world (Hoy et al., 2014). Back pain usually appears during childhood, and from the age of 13, with the onset of adolescence, the values are like those of adults, with a range of lifetime prevalence from 27.3% to 74% (Santos et al., 2021). Given the frequency of LBP and its long-term consequences, preventive efforts should be prioritised.
