Brief summary: In this study, musculoskeletal-related pain, posture, spine function, the condition of the low back and neck regions, musculoskeletal system disorders, fatigue, and quality of life will be examined in caregivers of rehabilitation patients.

Detailed description: There are studies examining musculoskeletal disorders, physical demands and care activities of unpaid caregivers, musculoskeletal pain and related factors in unpaid caregivers of individuals with stroke, the effect of the functional status of stroke individuals on caregiver pain, musculoskeletal pain and related factors in mothers of children with cerebral palsy, musculoskeletal symptoms in caregivers of individuals with stroke, the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in caregivers of individuals with disabilities in a rehabilitation center, and the prevalence and characteristics of low back pain in caregivers of individuals with stroke in the literature. However, no study was found in which the musculoskeletal system was comprehensively evaluated in the caregivers of rehabilitation patients and the musculoskeletal system characteristics were compared in the caregivers of individuals with cerebral palsy and stroke. Therefore, musculoskeletal-related pain, posture, spine function, the condition of the low back and neck regions, musculoskeletal system disorders, fatigue, and quality of life will be examined in caregivers of rehabilitation patients in this study.
