Summary

This study looks at how working from home affects posture, neck and back pain, and internet use. Researchers will measure spine angles and muscle structure in adults who work remotely, and assess their internet addiction levels. The goal is to understand if increased screen time and poor posture during remote work are linked to common spine problems.
