Proposal of a model for learning postural habits at school

Abstract

Among  the  environmental  factors  affecting  musculoskeletal disorders of the child are inadequate postures during sleep, and play  time  as  sienta1.  The  factors  include:  inadequate  and positions held for periods of time; weight and improper placement of the backpack; incorrect gestures and lifestyles in relation to physical  activity  and  sedentary  lifestyle.  low  back  pain  in students  is  a  public  health  problem  and increasing  its  presence increases  the  risk  of  low  back  pain  in  the  future.  Several referenced  studies  show  that  low  back  pain  can  cause  disability and  limit  daily  activities  between  9.7%  and  40%  of adolescents. Most  alterations  of  spine  can  be  prevented  through  postural education  at  school  age,  if  the  school  has  a  model  of  early postural  awareness  to  take  neutral  positions,  in  the  classroom and outside them, which could become habits that prevent skeletal muscle diseases in adulthood. The object is to propose a learning model  of  preventive  postural  habits  for  primary  schools  and secondary  and following  the  concept  of  Rapport  au  savoir,  based on  the  direction  that  gives  the  learning  and  knowledge  of ergonomic postures, the commitment to him to implement them, with others and the world.
