Risk Factor Association of Musculoskeletal Injuries Among University Students

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This research will be conducted to identify the factors that increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in college students, Hypothesis: Demographic, anthropometric, postural, sleep quality and physical activity characteristics significantly predicted musculoskeletal injury.

Detailed Description
-----------------
An important public health issues for young people, particularly university students is musculoskeletal injuries.The wound may cause excruciating agony, functional limitations,and decreased quality of life (Almeida et al.,2013). musculoskeletal injuries have a complicated etiology, with important roles played by demographics, anthropometric, psychological,postural, sleep quality, and physical activity variable.To create focused preventives and intervention measures, it is essential to understand the risk factor of musculoskeletal injuries among university students. Questionnaire has been extensively utilized to asses postural risk factor for musculoskeletal illness such as low back pain. Musculoskeletal injuries have been linked to possible risk factors related to sleep quality, physical activity in previous study. However it is still unclear how these factor interact in a complex way and how that affects the likelihood of musculoskeletal injury. By examining the association between demographics, anthropometric, phycological, postural, sleep quality and physical activity in university students,this study seeks to fill this vacuum in the literature.The results of this study will offer insightfull information that will help to guide the creation of focused preventives and intervention for this demographics. The date will be collected through the use of structure questionnaire the survey will ask questions on demographics data, psychological aspects, posture, sleep patterns, and level of physical activity and the participants will be required to complete the 9-test screening Battery for musculoskeletal damage. The following resources will be utilized to gather information on various aspects of musculoskeletal injuries. Age, gender, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) General health questionnaire (GHQ) Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire for posture evaluation (NMQ) Pittsburgh sleep quality index is used to evaluate sleep quality (pSQI) International physical activity questionnaire for measuring physical activity (IPAQ) Screening for musculoskeletal injuries:9-test MSK injury screening Battery
