this study will be conducted to investigate the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders due to the postural load between female and male physical therapists by utilization of digital ergonomics analysis.
Males and females Egyptian physical therapists at Al Kasr Elaini Hospital and at the outpatient clinics of the Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, and Badr university, will be included in the study.
Age ranges from 21-30 years old of physical therapists and their BMI is between 18 and 24.9.
4 hours of work daily at least
No working experience to 2 years of experience only

A two hundred and seventeen of Egyptian physical therapists . They will be selected from Al Kasr Elaini Hospital and at the outpatient clinics of the Faculty of Physical Therapy at Cairo and Badr University. Their age is 21-30 years old of physical therapist and their BMI is between 18 and 24.9. needed to capture videos from a lateral view for Kinovea analysis of the angles and degrees of sagittal plane motion (for shoulder , elbow, wrist, neck and trunk joints ) and from an anterior view to determine the presence of frontal plane motion (in shoulder, elbow, wrist, neck and trunk joints) to fulfill the RULA to estimate the Risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorder .

range of motion
kinovea soft wear will be used to measure joints range of motions.this will be applied through Capturing videos by iPhone 11 from lateral view for kinovea analysis the angles degrees of sagittal plane motion (for shoulder , elbow, wrist, neck and trunk joints ) and from anterior view to determined the presence of frontal plane motion (in shoulder, elbow, wrist, neck and trunk joints)
postural load
The rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) will be used to assess the postural load and to know if physical therapy interns are exposed to MSD risk factors during the performance of their work
