Abstract
Background: The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic brought about speculations on the impact of online teaching on lower back pain (LBP) complaints. This spurred comparisons and combinations of similar research objectives conducted pre- and post-pandemic. Aims and Objectives: This assignment offers a comparative analysis of two published research papers. Specifically, these papers are cross-sectional studies investigating LBP among undergraduate university students at two different time points. Methodology: This paper aims to identify similarities and differences in selected results from both articles. Advanced statistical analyses using SPSS were carried out to assess the significance of the results chosen from both studies. Data on the prevalence and intensity of LBP, the correlation between gender and LBP complaints, and the influence of physical activity on LBP complaints were all considered. Conclusion: The study concluded that both articles reported a high prevalence of LBP, particularly among non-medical students. However, no significant correlation was found between the use of e-learning techniques and the development of LBP. Furthermore, low levels of physical activity were not identified as an independent risk factor for developing LBP. Significantly, both articles associated the female gender with a higher incidence of LBP complaints.
