The Wearable Postural Feedback Devices Combined With Exercise in Office Workers With Chronic Neck Pain

The postural feedback wearable device we will use in the study is programmed to vibrate when hunched postures are detected (based on changes in the curvature and curvature of the spine), alerting users to changes in their body position.

Trapezius, Sternocleidomastoid (SCM), Scalene, pectoral muscles will be targeted for stretching exercises and deep neck flexors, Trapezius, Levator Scapula, Rhomboids will be targeted for strengthening exercises. The intensity of the exercises will be increased according to the weeks. Stretching exercises will be performed as a single set at the pain limit, maintaining the position of the muscle groups in the longest tolerable position for 30 seconds. In strengthening exercises, participants will hold the position for 5-10 seconds at the end of the movement. Moderate resistance elastic bands and free weights will be used for resistance exercises. In the following weeks, progression will be made in all exercises according to the patient's condition.
