Dissertation note: Thesis (Ph.D.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Growth and Development Disorders in Pediatrics Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the work related musculoskeletal disorders in pediatric Egyptian physical therapists and identifying job risk factors. The study was conducted on one hundred fifty pediatric physical therapists with at least one year of work experience in their current work settings from different Egyptian governorates who were invited to participate in a comprehensive six- part exploratory survey. Two questionnaires were used in this study: Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) and Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). Questionnaires were distributed and mailed among prospective participants who were selected according to the previous sited criteria with a cover letter stated the purpose of the study. Participants were asked to complete and return the questionnaire within two weeks. The results showed the prevalence of work- related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMDs) among pediatric physical therapists. There was a high positive correlation between WRMSDs and physical risk factors while a non significant correlation with job strain. We can conclude that the physical demands of pediatric physical therapy practice is a major risk factor facing this profession leading to WRMDs
