Abstract

Background: Physiotherapists in India are at a high risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WRMSD). Faulty ergonomics and incorrect patient handling techniques are the common causes of WRMSDs. The disabilities caused due to musculoskeletal injuries are the frequent cause of absenteeism from work.

Aim and method: The aim of this cross-sectional survey is to investigate the occurrence of WRMSDs among physiotherapists in Maharashtra using Orebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire. Responses were obtained through Google forms and analyzed. Three hundred sixty physiotherapists who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited for the study. All the participants responded to the questionnaire.

Result: The prevalence of WRMSDs was found to be highest in age of 23-30 years (87.22%) and less in age of 41-50 years (2.22%). Most common affected area was neck (43.6%) and lower back (43.1%).

Conclusion: This study highlights the high incidence of WRMSDs among physiotherapists in Maharashtra.

使用奥雷布洛肌肉骨骼疼痛问卷 (OMPQ) 对物理治疗师与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病进行横断面调查。

背景：印度的物理治疗师是工作相关肌肉骨骼疾病（WRMSD）的高发人群。错误的人体工程学设计和不正确的病人处理技术是导致 WRMSD 的常见原因。肌肉骨骼损伤导致的残疾是缺勤的常见原因：这项横断面调查旨在使用奥雷布洛肌肉骨骼疼痛问卷调查马哈拉施特拉邦物理治疗师的肌肉骨骼损伤发生率。调查通过谷歌表格获得回复并进行分析。研究招募了 360 名符合纳入标准的物理治疗师。所有参与者都回答了问卷：研究发现，23-30 岁年龄段的人患 WRMSDs 的比例最高（87.22%），41-50 岁年龄段的人患 WRMSDs 的比例较低（2.22%）。最常见的受影响部位是颈部（43.6%）和下背部（43.1%）：本研究强调了马哈拉施特拉邦物理治疗师的 WRMSDs 高发病率。
