Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Musculoskeletal discomfort and work fatigue has enormous impact on quality of personal and professional life and increases health related economic burden on country due to increased cost of healthcare and reduced productivity in work. Upper limb and neck pain complains are the most frequent when evaluated in computer workers. The incidence of musculoskeletal discomfort in office workers is as high as 50%. While fatigue is also common due to its high prevalence and its relationship with dysfunctional disorders in office workers. The objective of this study is to compare and determine the effects of exercise breaks, rest breaks and exercise along with rest breaks on Fatigue and Musculoskeletal discomfort in static workstation office workers
