About this study
Today, there is a relationship between the increase in the use of electronic devices such as smartphones or tablets and musculoskeletal disorders. Different usage styles of various electronic devices such as laptops, smartphones and tablets affect the risk factors that may be related to musculoskeletal disorders in office workers. In addition to the use of electronic devices, the posture of the office worker's head, waist and hands while sitting are among the risk factors. Parameters such as the features of the chair he is sitting on, the height and distance of the table affect the person's posture. Evaluation of these factors is important in preventing musculoskeletal disorders.
The Ergonomic Risk Assessment for Musculoskeletal Disorders in Office Workers was developed by Kluay-On et al. in 2022 and its validity and reliability were established. The aim of our study is to culturally adapt the Ergonomic Risk Assessment for Musculoskeletal Disorders in Office Workers into Turkish and to examine its validity and reliability.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Ergonomics Risk Assessment for Musculoskeletal Disorders in Office Workers
Ergonomics Risk Assessment for Musculoskeletal Disorders in Office Workers consists of a total of 10 questions and 3 subsections. The first part includes 3 items related to health status, such as history of neck and low back pain and electronic device behaviors, which evaluate individual factors. In the second section, the physical factors section, there are 5 items related to working posture. In the last section, psychosocial factors, there are 2 items related to mental fatigue.
Measured: Baseline

New York Posture Rating Chart
In the evaluation, five (5) points are given if the person's posture is correct, three (3) points are given if the posture is moderately impaired, and one (1) point is given if the posture is seriously impaired. The total maximum score obtained as a result of the test is 65 and the minimum score is 13.
Measured: Baseline

The subscales of the scale are: physical function (10 items), social function (2 items), role limitations due to physical functions (4 items), role limitations due to emotional problems 31 (3 items), mental health (5 items), energy (4 items). item), pain (2 items) and general perception of health (5 items). Subscales evaluate health between 0 and 100, with 0 indicating the lowest quality of life and 100 indicating the highest quality of life.
