“…Nonetheless, our study found some typical scenarios of LBP among all the participants. For example, we found a high prevalence of LBP among the subjects aged over 60 years, which is in line with the findings of our previous study ( Ali et al, 2021a ). Similar to the previous study findings, we also found higher odds of LBP among low-educated and low-income groups ( Hartvigsen et al, 2018 ).…”

“…The last part of the questionnaire measured the complaints about LBP. The questions on LBP were based on the musculoskeletal subscale of subjective health complaints produced by Eriksen et al that measured LBP complaints experienced in the last 30 days ( Ali et al, 2020( Ali et al, , 2021aEriksen et al, 1999 ). Participants were asked to rate the occurrence of pain in the lower back using four answering categories.…”

“…The questions on MHC were based on the musculoskeletal subscale of subjective health complaints produced by Eriksen et al that estimated MHC experienced in the last 30 days. 18 - 20 Participants were asked to rate the occurrence of migraine, leg pain, headache, arm pain, upper back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and low back pain in 4 categories. The severity of each complaint is rated on a 4-point scale (0 = none, 1 = some, 2 = much, 3 = severe).…”

Objective: This case-control study investigated the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and musculoskeletal health complaints (MHC). The specific aims of the study were (1) to compare the 1-month prevalence of MHC among post-acute COVID-19 patients and participants who never tested positive for COVID-19 matched by the former group’s age and gender; (2) to identify the predictors of MHC among all participants, and (3) define the factors independently associated with MHC in post-acute COVID-19 patients. Methods and Analysis: The study was conducted in Bangladesh from February 24 to April 7, 2022. The face-to-face interview was taken using a paper-based semi-structured questionnaire. MHC was measured using the musculoskeletal subscale of subjective health complaints produced by Eriksen et al. Descriptive analysis was conducted to compute MHC prevalence and compare them across groups. Multiple logistic analyses were employed to identify MHC predictors for the participants. Results: The prevalence of MHC was 38.7%. Adjusted analysis suggested that the SARS-CoV-2 infection was independently associated with MHC (AOR = 3.248,95% CI = 2.307-4.571). Furthermore, unemployment (AOR = 4.156, 95% CI = 1.308-13.208), moderate illness (AOR = 2.947,95% CI = 1.216-7.144), treatment in hospitals’ general word (AOR = 4.388,95% CI = 1.878-10.254) and health complaints after COVID-19 (AOR = 4.796,95% CI = 2.196-10.472) were found to be the predictors of MHC among post-acute COVID-19 patients. Conclusion: Our study found a robust association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and MHC and recommends that healthcare authorities be prepared to deal with the high burden of MHC among post-acute COVID-19 patients.

“…According to this study, physical therapists in Bangladesh showed a significant prevalence of lower back (15.2%), elbow (12.3%), ankle (8.6%), shoulder (7.1%), and knee (6.3%) injuries, respectively (Table 2). Due to employment, the neck and lower back are the most susceptible areas of the body [28][29][30][31][32]. The majority of the participants are managed by a physical therapist.…”

Background Dentists, nurses, and physical therapists have all been associated with an increased risk of work-related diseases. The findings of studies in these different occupations might aid in the development of preventative measures. In Bangladesh, however, no comparable evidence has been recorded among physical therapists. The study’s goal was to find out the prevalence of work-related physical problems at different anatomical locations, as well as the link between these disorders and treatment strategies across Bangladeshi physical therapists. Methods A physical and online survey of Bangladeshi physical therapists was done. A total of 300 questionnaires were given out, with work-related discomfort or pain detected in nine locations of the body: (1) neck, (2) shoulder, (3) elbow, (4) wrists, (5) upper back, (6) lumbar, (7) thighs, (8) knee, and (9) ankle. Results 85.5% of Bangladeshi physical therapists suffer musculoskeletal problems, according to the results of this research. The neck (25.7%), lower back (15.2%), elbow (12.3%), ankle (8.6%), and shoulder (8.6%) were the most often affected locations (7.1%). Upper back (3.0%) and hips (2.2%) ailments had the lowest prevalence. Conclusion Work-related musculoskeletal illnesses were common among the Bangladeshi physical therapists, especially in their neck, lower back, elbow, and ankle regions.
