About this trial

This observational cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among Egyptian students in the Faculty of Applied Arts. Using the Arabic version of the extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ-E), the study will assess the prevalence, distribution, and associated factors of musculoskeletal symptoms over the last 12 months and 7 days. A sample of 250 participants, aged 20-22 years and of both genders, will be recruited. Exclusion criteria include obesity, pregnancy, history of neuropathy, unstable medical conditions, or trauma-related musculoskeletal problems. The results will provide insights into MSD prevalence and help guide interventions for this population.

Behavioral
The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) is a standardized questionnaire used to assess musculoskeletal symptoms and disorders in the workplace. It is commonly used in occupational health and ergonomic assessments to gather information about the prevalence and severity of musculoskeletal issues such as pain, discomfort, and limitations in movement. The NMQ typically includes questions about specific body regions (e.g. neck, shoulders, back, wrists) and asks individuals to report any symptoms they may be experiencing in those areas. This information can help identify potential risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders and guide interventions to prevent or manage these conditions in the workplace (Namnik et al., 2016). • Section 1: a general questionnaire of 40 forced-choice items identifying areas of the body causing musculoskeletal problems. Completion is aided by a body map to indicate nine symptom sites being neck, shoulders, upper back, elbows, low back, wrist/hands, hips/thi
