Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT. Background: Sports physical therapists are subjected to physically demanding tasks which makes them susceptible to having Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs). Purpose: This study aims to identify the comparison between the occurrence WMSDs among sports PTs working in an out-patient clinic, field and in both along with its relation to their demographic profiles. Methods: A 13-page questionnaire containing subject's socio-demographic profile and Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire were sent to all accessible sports PTs in Metro Manila. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test of independence for association of WMSDs among sports PTs. Results: Questionnaires were sent to 98 licensed sports PTs and only 71 questionnaires were returned and eligible for the study which has a response rate of 72. The occurrence of WMSD in field sports PTs have the highest frequency in the lower back region (17, n=23 [74%]), followed by neck (15, n=23 [65%]), then the upper back (11, n=23 [48%]). Outpatient sports PTs: lower back region (21, n26 [81%]), followed by neck (19, n=26 [73%]), then the upper back (17, n=26 [65%]). While sports PTs who work on both settings experience WMSD in the neck region (17, n=22 [77%]) followed by lower back (16, n=22 [72%]), then the upper back region (12, n=22 [55%]). Moreover, based on the demographic profiles, there is a significant difference in occurrence of WMSD among sports PTs in Metro Manila in terms of age (elbow), number of working hours (shoulder and hip/thigh) and years of experience (elbow, wrist and hand). Conclusion: The occurrence of WMSD among sports PTs in Metro Manila has no significant difference in both settings. Therefore, it doesn't depend on the work environment but on the nature of the work itself. Other editions:
