Effectiveness of an AI-Assisted Camera-Based Progressive Muscle Relaxation Application in Office Workers: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of an AI-assisted, camera-based progressive muscle relaxation application in office workers aged 20 to 40 years.
Participants are randomly allocated to an intervention group or a control group.
The intervention group completes a 4-week progressive muscle relaxation program using the PhysioTR Academic application, which provides camera-based real-time movement analysis and exercise guidance.
The control group continues their usual daily routine and completes baseline and post-intervention assessments only.
Outcomes include pain/tension intensity, musculoskeletal symptoms, perceived stress, neck disability, work productivity, functionality, and AI-based adherence metrics.

Descripción detallada
This study is a single-center, randomized, controlled, open-label trial conducted in office workers aged 20 to 40 years. Participants are automatically randomized into either an intervention group or a control group.
The intervention group uses the PhysioTR Academic application for a 4-week progressive muscle relaxation program. The program includes 3 sessions per week, 12 sessions in total. Each session includes four exercise components: face and jaw, neck and shoulders, hands and arms, and back and chest. Each exercise includes a contraction and relaxation phase. The application uses the participant's device camera for real-time movement analysis and provides written and/or audio guidance.
The control group continues their usual daily routine and does not receive an exercise intervention during the study period. The control group completes only baseline and post-intervention assessments.
Assessments are performed at baseline and Week 4. Outcome measures include the Visual Analog Scale, Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, Neck Disability Index, Work Productivity Scale, numeric functionality score, and AI-based adherence and landmark coverage metrics in the intervention group.

Experimental: AI-Assisted Camera-Based Progressive Muscle Relaxation Group
Participants in this group complete a 4-week progressive muscle relaxation program using the PhysioTR Academic application.
The program includes 3 sessions per week, 12 sessions in total.
Each session includes four components: face and jaw, neck and shoulders, hands and arms, and back and chest.
The application uses the participant's device camera for real-time movement analysis and records session-level Visual Analog Scale scores and AI-based adherence metrics.
|
A camera-based progressive muscle relaxation program delivered through the PhysioTR Academic web application.
The intervention includes 4 weeks of training, 3 sessions per week, for a total of 12 sessions.
The application provides written and/or audio instructions and uses camera-based real-time movement analysis to support exercise performance and adherence monitoring.

|
Sin intervención: Control Group
Participants in the control group continue their usual daily routine and do not receive an exercise intervention during the study period.
They complete baseline and Week 4 assessments only.

Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Pain/Tension Intensity Assessed by Visual Analog Scale
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and Week 4
|
Pain/tension intensity is assessed using a 0-10 Visual Analog Scale.
Higher scores indicate greater pain/tension intensity.
Change is calculated from baseline to Week 4.

Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Musculoskeletal Symptoms Assessed by the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and Week 4
|
Musculoskeletal symptoms are assessed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire across body regions.
The outcome is summarized as the presence of symptoms by region and/or the number of symptomatic body regions.
Higher values indicate more widespread musculoskeletal symptoms.
|
Baseline and Week 4
|
|
Change in Perceived Stress Scale Score
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and Week 4
|
Perceived stress is assessed using the Turkish version of the Perceived Stress Scale.
Higher scores indicate greater perceived stress.
|
Baseline and Week 4
|
|
Change in Neck Disability Index Score
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and Week 4
|
Neck-related disability is assessed using the Neck Disability Index.
Higher scores indicate greater neck-related disability.
|
Baseline and Week 4
|
|
Change in Work Productivity Scale Score
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and Week 4
|
Work productivity is assessed using a 5-item Likert-type Work Productivity Scale.
Total scores range from 5 to 25, with higher scores indicating higher work productivity.
|
Baseline and Week 4
|
|
Change in Numeric Functionality Score
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and Week 4
|
General functionality is assessed using a numeric rating scale from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates very poor functionality and 10 indicates excellent functionality.
Higher scores indicate better functionality.
|
Baseline and Week 4
|
|
AI-Based Exercise Adherence Score
Periodo de tiempo: During each of the 12 sessions over the 4-week intervention period
|
In the intervention group, the application automatically calculates an AI-based adherence score as the percentage of predefined exercise criteria met during each session.
Scores range from 0 to 100%, with higher scores indicating better adherence to the required exercise form.
|
During each of the 12 sessions over the 4-week intervention period
|
|
AI-Based Landmark Coverage Ratio
Periodo de tiempo: During each of the 12 sessions over the 4-week intervention period
|
In the intervention group, the application calculates a landmark coverage ratio as the percentage of required body landmarks detected by the camera during each exercise.
Scores range from 0 to 100%, with higher scores indicating better camera-based landmark detection.
|
During each of the 12 sessions over the 4-week intervention period

Immediate Change in Session-Level Pain/Tension Intensity
Periodo de tiempo: Immediately before and after each session during the 4-week intervention period
|
In the intervention group, pain/tension intensity is recorded immediately before and after each progressive muscle relaxation session using a 0-10 Visual Analog Scale.
The immediate session-level change is calculated as post-session score minus pre-session score.
|
Immediately before and after each session during the 4-week intervention period
