Abstract:
This technical note reports the findings of a self-administered questionnaire regarding low back pain (LBP) and other musculoskeletal problems completed by 113 physiotherapists (15% of the active physiotherapists in the Republic of Slovenia). The study revealed that the overall incidence among the sample population of physiotherapists is 73.7% and the most prominent factor appears to be the age of the respondents. The only triggering factor for LBP within the physiotherapy profession appears to be handling of dependent patients.
