Brief Summary

It has been reported that staying in the same posture for a long time causes musculoskeletal system problems, and the use of mobile phones and other electronic devices continuously, especially in the internet age, causes postural problems in many people. Physiotherapy applications including strengthening, stretching, yoga, pain-oriented applications, and behavioral treatments are performed for an ideal posture to regulate postural problems. When the literature is examined, it has been seen that the studies carried out after the Covid 19 pandemic have developed especially in the direction of telerehabilitation, but there is a need for studies showing the effect of exercise applications developed for individuals with mechanical neck pain. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of 12-week telerehabilitation on posture, energy consumption, and performance in individuals with mechanical neck pain.

Telerehabilitation exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

Exercises about postural structures on the cervical and thoracal region. Bilateral pectoral stretching, chin tack exercises, cervical isotonic exercises, stretching of the upper trapezius and longus Colli, scapular region strengthening, shoulder capsular stretching, Wand exercises for 12 weeks and 3 times a week.

Behavioral: Telerehabilitation exercises and postural skills

Interventions

Telerehabilitation exercises and postural skills BEHAVIORAL

12 week based postural exercises and skills were applied to participants. The exercises were done 3 times a week. The exercises about cervical and thoracal region strengthening and stretching of muscles and structures.
