Brief Summary

Musculoskeletal problems are a common health issue among individuals working in textile workshops, attributed to factors such as ergonomic risks in working conditions, personal characteristics of employees, and other workplace factors. Neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain, hand and finger pain, knee pain, and foot pain are frequently observed issues among those working in textile workshops, negatively impacting their functionality and quality of life. The research aims to investigate the effects of online rehabilitation education on pain and quality of life among textile workers. Participants aged between 21 and 52 working in textile workshops will be included in the study. All participants will be evaluated twice, before and after treatment, with all assessments conducted face-to-face. Demographic information such as age, gender, marital status, etc., will be assessed using a structured socio-demographic form. Pain levels will be assessed using the 100 mm VAS, quality of life will be assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire, and posture evaluation will be conducted using anterior and lateral posture analysis. The rehabilitation program administered to participants will take place over a period of 3 months, with sessions conducted three times a week on an online platform. The rehabilitation program will include posture exercises, stretching exercises, exercises for normal joint range of motion, strengthening exercises, regional pain education (shoulder, elbow, hip, wrist), and discussions on good and poor posture, lasting approximately 40-45 minutes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• VAS scale for pain assessment

  Participants' pain will be assessed using the 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in the research conducted with individuals working in textile workshops. The participants' pain will be evaluated at three time intervals: at rest, while working in the textile workshop, and at night. Participants will be asked to mark their perceived pain intensity on a straight line of 0 mm (no pain at all) to 100 mm (unbearable pain). The intensity of the perceived pain will be measured and recorded in millimeters (mm) at the end of the assessment.

exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the research will undergo a three-week online rehabilitation program, three times a week, lasting 40-45 minutes each session. The program includes posture, stretching, joint range of motion, strengthening exercises, pain education, and discussions. Conducted via Zoom, only the practitioner will be present during sessions. Non-attendance for two consecutive sessions or failure to provide feedback will result in exclusion. Exercises cover various body areas and types, including posture correction, range of motion, stretching, isometric neck and shoulder exercises, stick exercises, and strengthening exercises.
