This research aims to evaluate biomechanical overload risks among physiotherapists using the REBA method with organisational analysis.
Assessments conducted in an orthopaedic institute
Utilized REBA method integrated with organisational analysis
Employs a checklist for reconstructing work organisation
Quantified time spent in awkward postures across body regions
Physiotherapists exposed to medium and high risk for two-thirds of their time
Back and shoulders are the most affected regions
High risk and extensive medium risk peaks identified
