title: [PC use in university students].
abstract: This study was aimed at investigating features related to PC use and prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among university students. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 98 university students. A questionnaire was used to collect data on personal characteristics, PC use and symptoms prevalence. Mean duration of daily PC use was 8,3 (DS 1,9) hours. The prevalences of neck, hand/wrist and shoulder pain in the previous month were 76%, 69% and 56% respectively. The findings of the present study suggest the needing of specific ergonomic training in university students.
