. The aim of this study is to compare the ergonomic risk levels, musculoskeletal complaints and quality of life of physiotherapists (PTs) according to their field of work. A total of 107 volunteer PTs participated in the study, whose information was recorded. Ergonomic risk levels were determined using rapid entire body assessment (REBA). Complaints about the musculoskeletal system of PTs were evaluated with the Cornell musculoskeletal discomfort questionnaire (CMDQ) and quality of life was evaluated by the Nottingham health profile. PTs who worked with pediatric patients (Group; = 47) were younger (<0.001). PTs who worked with adult patients (Group; = 60) had a higher daily number of patients (<0.001). The REBA score did not make a difference between the groups ( = 0.379). The difference was found in the upper back region of the CMDQ (<0.05). There was no difference between groups for quality of life (0.05). Group may be working in ergonomically demanding positions, although there is no statistical difference. The injury sites of the musculoskeletal system can differ. However, the reflection of musculoskeletal system problems on quality of life does not show any difference between the groups of PTs.
. 本研究旨在比较不同工作领域的物理治疗师（PT）的人体工程学风险水平、肌肉骨骼投诉和生活质量。共有 107 名志愿物理治疗师参与了这项研究，记录了他们的信息。使用快速全身评估（REBA）确定人体工程学风险水平。使用康奈尔肌肉骨骼不适问卷（CMDQ）评估 PT 的肌肉骨骼系统投诉，并用诺丁汉健康状况问卷评估生活质量。治疗儿科患者的 PT（组；n=47）年龄较小（<0.001）。治疗成年患者的 PT（组；n=60）每天治疗的患者人数更多（<0.001）。REBA 评分在两组之间没有差异（=0.379）。CMDQ 的上背部区域存在差异（<0.05）。两组之间的生活质量没有差异（0.05）。尽管没有统计学差异，但组可能处于需要人体工程学的工作位置。肌肉骨骼系统的损伤部位可能不同。然而，肌肉骨骼系统问题对生活质量的影响在两组 PT 之间没有差异。
