Brief Summary
|
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. |
