["Back and drive": a prevention and rehabilitation project for public bus drivers].

Back pain is a very common disease among the drivers. The project, based on the assumptions of the Neurocognitive Rehabilitation theory, we propose the prevention of musculoskeletal diseases and the improvement of the health of the subjects, using multiple levels of intervention. In addition to the more traditional prevention interventions it provides theoretical and practical training and education to the perception of the rachis inside job performance, through laboratories and individual treatment as secondary prevention and to facilitate the work. The comparison of three compilations of a questionnaire survey on the perception of the body and the sitting position, given before the course, at its conclusion and at a later time, shows significant change in the subjects' responses, which suggests that the course has changed way of thinking and organizing body and sitting position. Subsequent clinical-epidemiological surveys could test the hypothesis that this has effects of primary and secondary prevention.
