Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WRMDs) are common among cardiac sonographers due to their nature of work. This study aims to find out the effectiveness of the telerehabilitation method in the management of WRMDs among cardiac sonographers. 38 cardiac sonographers diagnosed with WRMDs will be randomly allocated into experimental and control groups with an allocation ratio1:1. The Experimental group will be receiving the telerehabilitation program along with an ergonomic awareness education program for 6 weeks, and the control group will receive an ergonomic awareness education alone. Pain, quality of life and work satisfaction are the outcome measures which will be measured at the baseline and after 6 weeks of the program

Telerehabilitation

The experimental group will be given a tailored program of telerehabilitation consisting of stretching and strengthening exercises for six weeks (three times per week)

Intervention Type OTHER

Patient education

Patient education will be given to both the experimental and control groups. Patient education and telerehabilitation will be given to the experimental group. To the control group, patient education alone will be provided
