Feasibility and Preliminary Effects of a Tele-Education-Based Ergonomic and Hand Exercise Program in Office Workers

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Occupational Health

In brief

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.
