Brief Summary

this study will be conducted to investigate the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders due to the postural load among physical therapists

Conditions

Musculoskeletal Disorder

Keywords

Photogrammetry Analysis; physical therapist; Musculoskeletal Disorder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• range of motion

  kinovea soft wear will be used to measure joints range of motions.this will be applied through Capturing videos by iPhone 11 from lateral view for kinovea analysis the angles degrees of sagittal plane motion (for shoulder , elbow, wrist, neck and trunk joints ) and from anterior view to determined the presence of frontal plane motion (in shoulder, elbow, wrist, neck and trunk joints)

  up to thirty minutes

• postural load

  • The rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) will be used to assess the postural load and to know if physical therapy interns are exposed to MSD risk factors during the performance of their work

  up to thirty four weeks
