Prevalence of postural problems among clinical physiotherapists

Description

Null Hypothesis: The frequency of postural deviations among clinical physiotherapist is not significantly correlated with work related parameters Alternate hypothesis: The prevalence of postural deviations among clinical physiotherapist is highly correlated with work related parameters The result showed a high prevalence of postural abnormalities and musculoskeletal symptoms, particularly in the neck, lower back, and shoulders. The dataset can be used to explore occupational risk factors, interpret posture-related health outcomes, and support ergonomic intervention strategies

Steps to reproduce

Data were collected from 101 clinical physiotherapists using a structured questionnaire, the adapted Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), and a standardized postural assessment checklist. Participants were recruited from hospitals and clinics through purposive sampling.
