The objective was to evaluate the quality of life, back pain, function and the changes of the spine of physical therapy students. 42 students participated in this study. We assessed the spine through the arcometer, back pain using a multidimensional pain questionnaire, quality of life using the SF-36 and feature from the Roland-Morris. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test (α = 0.05) was performed. The results demonstrated a prevalence of changes in curvatures of the spine 38,1% (n =16), high prevalence of back pain (69%, n = 29), low prevalence of impaired functionality (3.4%, n = 1), there is no association between changes in the curvatures of the spine and back pain and functionality, and SF-36 domain scores were higher than 45, except in “pain" area (score = 35). Conclusion: the lower the levels of pain intensity level, best the quality of life.Downloads
