Occupational musculoskeletal problems in physiotherapists

[marticlar]

Hi,

I would like to research the causes, prevalence and consequences of musculoskeletal problems in physiotherapists which are work-related. Does anyone know of a validated questionnaire which I could use for this research please?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi

2 things.

1. Have you asked your university?
2. I know that the osteopaths at the University of Western Sydney were looking at the prevalance on injuries to people who did manipulation. Maybe start there - i remeber filling out a questionnaire.

Hi, thanks for your relpy.

Unfortunatley it is up to us to find a questionnaire to use since this is for my thesis. I will try to get in contact with the University of Western Sydney, although this might pose some problems since I live in Europe.

However, thanks a lot for your help!

Another possibility would be to contact the centre for evidence based practice at the University of Sydney. They might have some ideas - that sort of thing excites them (validated tools that is!)

Also, try the chiros. In Australia, Maquarie University in Sydney is a good school...
