Detailed Description
After detailed information about the study is given to the individuals to be included in the study, individuals who voluntarily agree to participate in the study will sign an informed consent form.
Participants will be divided into 2 groups consisting of equal numbers of individuals.
The groups were called control group and exercise group.
All participants will be given ergonomics training.
In addition to the exercise group, exercise training will be given for 8 weeks, 3 days a week and 45 minutes a day.
Sociodemographic information form, Arm, Shoulder and Hand Problems Questionnaire (DASH), Neck Disability Questionnaire (NDI), Rapid Upper Extremity Assessment (RULA) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) will be used as evaluation scales.
Evaluations will be made at the beginning and end of the study.
will be done once.

Participants will be trained twice in total, on the first day of the study and at the end of the 4th week.
The training will be carried out interactively, supported by videos and visuals.
Training will be done individually and will last approximately 2 hours.

Training will be done individually and will last approximately 2 hours.
The exercise training program will be implemented for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, lasting an average of 45 minutes.
All participants will be given information about the exercises before the exercise training.
The exercise protocol was designed as 3 parts: warm-up, exercise and cool-down.
Stretching exercises, mobility and strength exercises will be applied.
A rest period of 30-45 seconds was given between sets and 2-3 minutes between exercises.
Participants will be given dynamic and static stretching, nerve stretching, postural strength and functional exercises for the upper extremity.
Relevant movements will be modified according to the exercise capacity of the participants.
Exercise content will also include median, ulnar and radial nerve stretching, neck and thoracic mobility exercises, and functional strength exercises for the shoulder, arm, hand and wrist.
Exercise tracking will be checked regularly through online conversations.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
Time Frame: 8 weeks
|
This index evaluates sleep quality and disturbance over the past month.
It contains a total of 24 questions.
19 of these questions are answered by the person's self-assessment, and 5 of them are answered by the roommate who shares the same room with the person.
The 5 questions answered by the person's roommate are not included when calculating the score.
In scoring, the lowest (0) and the highest (21) points are obtained.
A score of 4 and above indicates poor sleep quality.
|
8 weeks
|
Rapid Upper Limb Assessment
Time Frame: 8 weeks
|
It is an ergonomics risk assessment method that quickly analyzes the employee's upper extremity from an ergonomic perspective.
It evaluates upper extremity movements in 14 separate steps.
8 of these steps are scored for arm and hand position, and 6 for neck and trunk position, according to the table.
The minimum Rapid Upper Limb Assessment Score = 1, and the maximum Rapid Upper Limb Assessment Score = 7.
A high score means high risk.
|
8 weeks
|
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire
Time Frame: 8 weeks
|
It was developed to evaluate functional status and symptoms by focusing on physical function in upper extremity injuries.
According to the results of the survey; a result from 0-100 is obtained from each part; 0-no apology 100-maximum apology.
|
8 weeks
|
Neck disability index
Time Frame: 8 weeks
|
There are 10 parameters in the Neck disability index, each with 6 answer choices.
These; The severity of neck pain is personal care, lifting loads, reading, headache, concentration, business life, driving, sleep and leisure activities.
It is scored between 0 (no pain or functional limitation) and 5 (maximum pain and maximum limitation).
The subjects were asked to choose the most appropriate option for themselves from each parameter.
At the end of the survey, the total score was determined by adding up the scores of the selected options.
In the Neck disability index, 35 points and above were defined as complete apology, 25 to 34 points as severe apology, 15 to 24 points as moderate apology, 5 to 14 points as mild apology, and 0 to 4 points as no apology.
