Feasibility and Preliminary Effects of a Tele-Education-Based Ergonomic and Hand Exercise Program in Office Workers
Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Summary
Many office workers spend long hours at desks, which can lead to hand and upper limb problems. These issues may reduce hand strength and affect daily activities and work performance. This study will evaluate whether an online ergonomic training and hand exercise program is practical and helpful for desk-based workers over four weeks. Researchers will measure hand grip strength and fine motor skills before and after the program to assess its potential benefits.

Tele-Education-Based Ergonomic Training and Hand Exercise Program
Participants will receive a four-week tele-education-based ergonomic training and hand exercise program. Ergonomic education will be provided once at the beginning of the program through an online session. The exercise program will include supervised sessions conducted by a physiotherapist twice per week, each lasting approximately 40 minutes, focusing on structured hand exercises. Participants will also be instructed to perform the exercises on other days as part of a home-based program. The intervention is designed to improve working posture and support hand function during daily activities.
