NECK DISABILITY AND WORK ROLE FUNCTIONING IN OFFICE WORKERS

Starting soon

Conditions studied: Neck Pain

In brief

This observational cross-sectional study aims to investigate whether neck-related disability predicts work role functioning in a non-clinical sample of office workers. Office workers frequently experience neck discomfort and functional limitations due to prolonged sitting and computer use. However, the extent to which neck-related disability influences their ability to meet work role demands remains unclear. Participants will complete validated questionnaires assessing neck disability, perceived stress, general health status, and work role functioning. Demographic information will also be collected. No intervention will be applied. The findings of this study may help clarify the relationship between neck-related disability and occupational functioning and contribute to the development of preventive strategies in office-based work environments.
