Abstract
Background: Musculoskeletal disorders, one of the causes of injury worldwide, have affected the adult and young populations. School students are also susceptible to musculoskeletal pain due to their progressive growth and development.
Aims: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of corrective exercises in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and to evaluate the mood states of students aged 13–15 years during the Corona virus epidemic.
Materials and methods: The present study had an experimental research design with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test. 60 female students aged 13–15 and 60 male students aged 13–15 in Bandar Mahshahr city in the second half of the academic year 1401–1400 who had musculoskeletal disorders were randomly assigned to the experimental group of 21 girls and 30 boys and the control group of 26 boys and 24 girls. The experimental group received the exercises, and the control group had their normal lives. The exercises included 12 mobility, stretchability, and central stability exercises, which were performed for eight weeks and three sessions each week, each lasting about 40 minutes. In this research, standard questionnaires of the Nordic skeletal-muscular condition of adolescents and Bromez's 32-question questionnaire of mood states were used. The data were analyzed through U-Mann-Whitney-Friedman and Wilcoxon tests at the significance level of P≤0.05.
Results: Eight weeks of corrective exercises had a significant effect on the treatment of skeletal-muscular pain in students (p<0.05). Also, eight weeks of corrective exercises had no significant effect on students' moods (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: performing 8 weeks of corrective exercises at home was able to reduce the skeletal-muscular pain of different organs in students during the Corona period. Therefore, it is suggested that this type of corrective exercise should be widely taught and practiced to prevent pain in different parts of the students' body during exercise.
