Abstract

The performance areas of physiotherapists according to (ASCOFI, 2015) are clinical, physical activity-sport, education and finally, health-work. In each of these areas there are numerous and diverse biomechanical risk factors that can affect your health, especially in the musculoskeletal system. And in turn, having an impact on their performance and productivity. The objective of this monograph was to determine the biomechanical risks to which physiotherapists are exposed during patient care. This monograph work was written under a critical compilation scheme of information found in scientific articles, journal articles and books, published in any year and in any language. This information was later reviewed and analyzed to establish that the biomechanical risk factors to which physiotherapists are exposed during patient care are forced and prolonged postures, load handling, frequent use of manual therapy, repetitive movements and poor management. organization of work (breaks, strenuous working hours, increase in patients per shift).
