Sit related Musculoskeletal Disorde

Sit related Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are frequent and several studies have pointed out an association between back pain and prolonged sitting. Students spend about 84% to 88% of their time in the sitting position. 41.6% of students experi-enced pain while sitting in the classroom and 69.5% of the back pain occurred after 1 h of sitting and increases with the duration of the sitting position at school. Some studies have shown a positive relationship between back pain and seat height. University students constitute a large group of people who spend a lot of their time on the university chairs and desks in a static or awkward pos-ture. High prevalence of neck and upper extremity complaints among university stu-dents has been reported in the literature.
