Abstract

Occurrence of low back pain in children and teenagers may be due to their postural habits during school time.

A questionnaire was build including photos of sitting down, sitting down for writing, carrying school material, and lifting light and heavy weights from the floor. After the questionnaire face validity was analyzed and the results of the intraclass correlation was found (r=0,91; p=0,000), we concluded that the tool have face validity and reliability for application in a population with similar characteristics.
