Un dos pour la vie

"Un dos pour la vie" (A back for life) is a brochure of the Neurosurgery Department at the Erasme hospital. This brochure makes part of a larger program aiming to prevent lumbagos and is meant for the general public. The brochure is illustrated with nice pictures indicating the right and wrong back positions. An entire chapter is dedicated to children: in their sitting and squatting positions, the best way to carry a schoolbag, etc. Another chapter called "24 hours for the spine" follows the different spine movements: when you get out of bed, make up your bed, tie your shoelaces, iron, lift up and carry loads, clean the floor, relax, work, get out of the car, etc. Finally, the brochure proposes prevention and stomach muscles exercises.
