Background: Musculoskeletal disorders are the frequent and serious hazards of the health in the overall world. Poor guidance to the individuals with musculoskeletal disorders can cause increase in intensity of pain and can alter the disability factor Physiotherapists have a major role in dealing musculoskeletal disorders as they use their clinical expertise to access and treat patients in order to reduce and relieve the pain and treat muscle weakness, loss of stability, and limited functional disabilities
Objective: To determine the physiotherapy treatment preferences for common musculoskeletal problems across Pakistan.
Material and Method: In this study 5 point likert scale was used to check the treatment preferences in which some are strongly agree, agree, while on the other hand some are disagree and strongly disagree and some shows no response or neutral reactions.
Results:
A total of 217 physiotherapists participated in the study. Out of total 54.8% were males and 45.2% were females. Their treatment preferences for 14 common musculoskeletal disorders of upper extremity, lower extremity and spine were asked and responses were recorded in the form of 5 point Likert scale
Conclusion
The most preferred treatment options were cryotherapy for Ankle Sprain, pain medication for Frozen Shoulder, anti-inflammatory agents for Plantar Fasciitis, heel lifts for Achilles Tendonitis, cervical mobilization/manipulation for Neck Pain, nerve gliding exercises for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, strengthening exercises for Golfer Elbow, manual therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis, stretching for Piriformis Syndrome, therapeutic exercises for Hip Osteoarthritis, pain medication for Tennis Elbow, electrotherapy for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, strengthening exercises for Low Back Pain, range of motion exercises for Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, and strengthening exercises for SIJ Dysfunct.
Musculoskeletal disorders are the frequent and serious hazards of the health in the overall world. They are the one notorious cause of short and long term ailment and can cause number of health hazards among individuals [1]. Musculoskeletal conditions can cause a major load on the people belonging to the generalized population [2]. Poor guidance to the individuals with musculoskeletal disorders can cause the increase in intensity of pain and hence multiplying the disability factor, therefore individuals have to referred earlier to the physiotherapist for the better treatment of musculoskeletal disorders [3]. Musculoskeletal disorders in majority of cases affect the bones, joints and connective tissues. Physiotherapists play a major role in dealing musculoskeletal disorders as they use their clinical expertise to access and treat patients that help in relieving pain and improving muscles strength, joints stability and hence improving functional outcomes. That definitely increases patient`s physical ability with better quality of life [4].The process of returning patients with muskuloskeletal disorders back to work constitutes number of challenges. Muscle pain and joint pain are being treated by physiotherapists with manipulations and mobilization techniques from the past few decades. Posture correction, stretching, strengthening and ergonomics can be on higher priority while treating the musculoskeletal disorders. The level of pain can be decreased by the effective treatment options applied on the individuals [5]. Treatment options for musculoskeletal disorders prescribed by physiotherapists are usually Ultrasound, cast for warming the muscles that encourages flesh curing, Electric Stimulus and Laser also used for muscular distress, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis. Therapeutic exercises like shut kinematic run, concentric, central solidness, odd, isotonic and open vibrant series are used for recovery in muscles strength, relieving pain, muscle matching and muscle taming [6].
To determine the physiotherapy treatment preferences for common musculoskeletal problems across Pakistan.
The main focus of the research is to determine how physiotherapists deal with patients having Musculoskeletal problems and getting knowledge about best protocols for these patients. In this way we could get treatment preferences of physiotherapists.
Danielle A.W.M van der et al has performed that research the Ultrasound therapy is handy for taming pain in Muskuloskeletal disorders.They estimated the efficacy of Ultrasound treatment . They concluded that due to efficacy of ultrasound in the managing of muskuloskeletal disorders, it should be added in management [7].
According to another study there are many non-morphological cures for slight spinal pain. This study assessed the aids and evils in acupuncture, psychological cures and physical cures (Laser, Short Wave Diathermy, Superficial heat, TENS) for acute, sub acute and chronic low back pain [8].
Another randomized study included symptomatic patients with meniscal tear and having Osteoarthritis knee joint. This trial showed that arthroscopic keyhole meniscectomy for meniscal tear was better than non-operative therapy [9].
A randomized trial study evaluated the outcomes of physical therapy in patients with recurrent neck pain. It included simple isometric neck movements and strengthening exercises of neck muscles. The result showed effective out come in terms of relieving symptoms. It didn’t work in females with long-term, non-specific neck pain with anxiety [10].
Another study revealed role of physical therapy in knee osteoarthritis. It determined that physical therapy in terms of somatic therapy was effective for patients with OA [11].
A study showed the value of recovery with the classic physical therapy that limit the use of neck collar. It concluded that the earlier and regular physiotherapy had better outcomes than the short-lived intermittent physiotherapy for neck pain [12].
Another study showed effectiveness of surgery for lumber inter-vertebral disc herniation as compared to non-operative treatment. It concluded that both the non-operative (such as NSAIDS, Cyclic oxygenase inhibitors 2 or oral steroids) treatment and surgical treatment equally effective but surgical treatment with risk of an intraoperative complication that is durall tear [13].
Another study evaluated evidence based practice of physical therapists for patients with stroke. They concluded that evidence based practice was lacking in physical therapists because of lack of education and negative perception about research and physical therapy role in evidence based practice[14].
Stuart L. Weinstein at al has conducted a randomized cohort study. The aim was to evaluate the outcomes of surgery in teen children with idiopathic scoliosis using preoperative braces. They proved that bracing lead to better correction of curve in scoliotic patients after surgery. IIt further showed more better results if braces wear for longer hours [15].
In this study we use the 5 point Likert scale used to check the treatment preferences on musculoskeletal problems.

After the approval from relevant ethical committees we collected our data from physiotherapists of government and private hospitals and clinics from all over the Pakistan. Our sample size was 217 in which 119 were male and 98 were female physiotherapists. We chose 5 point likert scale for our questionnaire based on 14 common musculoskeletal problems and we work to find the most preferred treatment protocols used in hospital and physiotherapy clinics in Lahore. Our questionnaire consisted of 5 points which were Strongly Agree, Agree, Neither, Disagree and Strongly Disagreusing using likert scale. After informed consent participants responded to questionnaire without any queries and data collected on prescribed Performa.
Ethical issue:
All measures were taken to ensure the privacy of subject. It will be done after the consent from concern ethical committee of institutes, hospitals and owners of private clinics to conduct the study in different institutes of major cities. The safety of data ensured.

A total of 217 physiotherapists were the part of the study in which 119 were male and 98 were female. The main purpose of the study was to know the treatment preferences of the physiotherapists regarding common diseases. 14 common musculoskeletal disorders of upper extremity, lower extremity and spine were part of the research which were Ankle Sprain, Frozen.
Shoulder, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Neck Pain, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, Golfer Elbow, Knee Osteoarthritis, Piriformis Syndrome, Hip Osteoarthritis, Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Low Back Pain, Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, and Sacroiliac joint Dysfunction.
The treatment preferences of physiotherapists were mainly cryotherapy for Ankle Sprain, pain medication for Frozen Shoulder, anti-inflammatory agents for Plantar Fasciitis, heel lifts for Achilles Tendonitis, cervical mobilization/manipulation for Neck Pain, nerve gliding exercises for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, strengthening exercises for Golfer Elbow, manual therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis, stretching for Piriformis Syndrome, therapeutic exercises for Hip Osteoarthritis, pain medication for Tennis Elbow, electrotherapy for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, strengthening exercises for Low Back Pain, range of motion exercises for Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, and strengthening exercises for SIJ Dysfunction. A study conducted showed that manual therapy and balance training was the most preferred treatment of ankle sprain where as the current study shows cryotherapy is the best treatment of ankle sprain [17]
For Plantar Fasciitis stretching and night splints were the preferred treatment option where as in current study anti-inflammatory agents are proved to be best treatment option [18].
Laser therapy was preferred for Achilles tendinitis where as current study showed that heel lift was best option [19].
NMES and assisted devices or proper footwear are treatment for Knee Osteoarthritis in a study were as current study showed that manual therapy was the best treatment option [20].
According to a study exercise therapy was more effective for Hip Osteoarthritis where as current study showed Therapeutic exercises was best [21].
On the basis of a study Stretching exercises were more effective for Piriformis Syndrome to promote flexibility and return the individual to pain free status, our study also showed stretching exercises were more effective [22].
Another study concluded revealed that joint mobilization, anti-inflammatory medicines and sacroiliac joint belts were best treatment for SIJ dysfunction whereas current study showed strengthening exercises were best for Sacroiliac joint dysfunction [23].
Results followed by a study revealed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug were best treatment for low back pain whereas current study showed that strengthening exercises were more effective [24].
Manual therapy was used for neck pain whereas according to recent study Cervical mobilization was best [25].
Study showed that Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) was effective in the treatment of Rotator Cuff Tendonitis whereas current study showed Functional Training was preferred [26].
According to a study manipulation was effective for frozen shoulder where as our study showed exercises and manual therapy were preferred treatment [27].
Current study revealed that Strengthening Exercises was best preferred treatment ]while corticosteroid injections were more effective for Golfer Elbow in another study [28].
A study conducted showed that corticosteroid injections were most preferred for tennis elbow whereas current study showed Pain medication was recommended treatment [29].
Nerve and tendon gliding exercises were more effective for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome whereas current study showed Electrotherapy was appropriate treatment [30].
While on the other hand Nerve and Gliding exercises were appropriate treatment for cubital tunnel syndrome and also preferred in current study [31].
Sample size was small.
Only common muskuloskeletal disorders considered.
Treatment preferences may be studied on large scale and more studies like this showed be conducted that will certainly improve and facilitates the daily life activities of the individual who suffered from muskuloskeletal problems. This may open new channels for further research in the field of physiotherapy and may help the physiotherapists to achieve their goals of treatment. The results of this study may help or improve clinical skills of fresh graduate, practicing physiotherapists and other health care providers. There is need to organize workshops for physiotherapist and provide them a platform in getting advanced knowledge, clinical skills and new pattern of treatments according to International standards. The main focus on further recommended study to evaluate the satisfied relationship between physiotherapist and patients.
The most preferred treatment options were cryotherapy for Ankle Sprain, pain medication for Frozen Shoulder, anti-inflammatory agents for Plantar Fasciitis, heel lifts for Achilles Tendonitis, cervical mobilization/manipulation for Neck Pain, nerve gliding exercises for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, strengthening exercises for Golfer Elbow, manual therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis, stretching for Piriformis Syndrome, therapeutic exercises for Hip Osteoarthritis, pain medication for Tennis Elbow, electrotherapy for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, strengthening exercises for Low Back Pain, range of motion exercises for Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, and strengthening exercises for Sacroiliac joint Dysfunction
