Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The current study aimed to explore the associations between disability levels and occupational risk factors in computer-using office workers with neck pain.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Disability Physical; Neck Pain; Ergonomic Factors	Diagnostic Test: A self-administered questionnaire

Detailed Description

This is a cross-sectional study. All participants will provide informed consent before participating in the study. The study will be conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration criteria. Data will be collected using questionnaires, which include information on demographic, clinical, and occupational ergonomic conditions.

Patients will be divided into 2 groups as mild-moderate and severe disabled according to their neck disability index values and will be analyzed statistically.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
mild-moderate disability Those whose neck disability index value is 5-34	Diagnostic Test: A self-administered questionnaire; A self-administered questionnaire will be used to screen Neck disability index, demographic information and ergonomic risk factors.
high disability Those whose neck disability index value is 35 and above	Diagnostic Test: A self-administered questionnaire; A self-administered questionnaire will be used to screen Neck disability index, demographic information and ergonomic risk factors.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. neck disability index [1 interview day]

   The Neck Disability Index (NDI) is a self-report questionnaire used to determine how neck pain affects a patient's daily life and to assess the self-rated disability of patients with neck pain

2. Rapid Office Strain Assessment [1 interview day]

   Rapid Office Strain Assessment is a method that determined the potential ergonomic risk factors computer position, computer screen position, head, and back position, and mouse position.
