Prevalence, Severity, Perceived Exertion, Ergonomic Risk Factor and Occupation-related Musculoskeletal Injury among Physiotherapists-A Cross-sectional study

Physical therapists who practice their profession may develop work-related musculoskeletal diseases (WMSDs). However, nothing is known about the variety of issues, how serious they are, or how they will affect therapists who work with them. Previous research has concentrated on back pain, which under-represents the variety of issues that could arise. We only found one study that acknowledged and looked into additional areas where physical therapy practice may lead to the development of WMSDs. There are still plenty of unanswered questions. The purpose of this study was to explore unresolved issues with physical therapists and WMSDs and to serve as a foundation for future research that should result in the creation of preventive measures.ergonomics is important in physiotherapy occupation because it helps in postural stability and helps in preventing any musculoskeletal problems. This study helps in detailed assessment, risk factors, and finding impact on physiotherapists. This study focuses on improving the lifestyle of the Occupational physiotherapist.
