Brief Summary

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

The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of exercise against work-related musculoskeletal disorders in tea workers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Individuals who volunteer to participate in the study will be evaluated considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and participants will participate in the study after reading and signing the Informed Consent Form. Tea workers who collect tea will be divided into 2 groups. .Demographic Information Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Upper Extremity Discomfort Analysis, Rapid Upper Extremity Assessment (RULA), Sleep Quality, Scandinavian Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire will be given to the participants of both groups. The surveys will be carried out face to face. After the application of the surveys, statistical data will be obtained. analyzes will be made. One group will be given exercise, the other group will not be given exercise. Post-exercise surveys will be conducted again to check the effectiveness of the exercise.
