First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 74 physiotherapy students to see how their daily physical workload—like time spent sitting and standing—affects their posture. Researchers used a 3D back scanner and surveys to measure posture, activity levels, sleep, and burnout. The goal was to find risk factors that could help students and teachers improve posture and prevent future problems.
