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
