Investigation of Respiratory System, Musculoskeletal System, Physical Activity Level and Quality of Life in Different Types of Office Workers.
There are no studies in the literature reporting the posture, chest mobility, dyspnea, flexibility, quality of life and physical activity levels of emergency call center employees. The aims of this observational study are; 1) to evaluate posture, chest mobility, strength, dyspnea, flexibility, musculoskeletal disorders, physical activity and quality of life in emergency call center workers and office workers, 2) to reveal the relationships between these parameters of both research groups and 3) The aim is to compare these measurement parameters in emergency call center workers and office workers.
Over time, there has been an increase in the number of office workers and the use of computers. Working in a static position for long working hours and improper working postures can lead to loss of flexibility in the muscles, decrease in thoracic mobility, pain in the musculoskeletal system and deterioration of ideal posture. Emergency call center employees work long hours, in shifts that require serious attention, where stress is intense and the circadian rhythm is disrupted. There is no study in the literature that evaluates the posture, chest mobility, dyspnea, flexibility and physical activity levels of emergency call center employees. Therefore, the aim of our study is; It is a comparative evaluation of posture, chest mobility, cough strength, dyspnea flexibility, musculoskeletal disorders, physical activity level and quality of life in emergency call center operators and desk workers.
