Impact of remote learning on posture and musculoskeletal health among Sudanese medical students during the 2023–2024 conflict: a cross-sectional study

MSDs were highly prevalent among Sudanese medical students during conflict-related remote learning. Female gender, poor ergonomic posture, and extended screen time were major associated factors. The findings emphasize the need for ergonomic awareness programs, structured physical activity, and improved learning setups in conflict and low-resource settings.

Abstract

MSDs were highly prevalent among Sudanese medical students during conflict-related remote learning. Female gender, poor ergonomic posture, and extended screen time were major associated factors. The findings emphasize the need for ergonomic awareness programs, structured physical activity, and improved learning setups in conflict and low-resource settings.
