About this study
Official title: Ergonomic Evaluation of Nail Technicians With Quick Exposure Check
This cross-sectional study evaluated the ergonomic risks and occupational symptoms among 35 female nail technicians using the Quick Exposure Check (QEC) and the Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ-E).
Read the detailed description
This clinical cross-sectional study assessed 35 female nail technicians from 14 salons in four districts on the European side of Istanbul (Bahçelievler, Küçükçekmece, Beylikdüzü, and Esenyurt). Data collection included interviews, questionnaires, and ergonomic evaluations. The European Community Respiratory Health Survey and the Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ-E) were used to assess symptoms, while ergonomic risks were evaluated using the Quick Exposure Check (QEC) by trained physiatrists. Following the assessments, technicians received ergonomic training on posture correction and risk prevention.

- Postural; Strain
- Medical subject headings
- Sprains and Strains
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Quick Exposure Check (QEC)
Evaluates the ergonomic risk for various body regions (back, neck, wrist/hand, shoulder/arm) using the Quick Exposure Check (QEC).Higher scores indicate worse ergonomic risks.
Measured: 0 day
Secondary outcomes (1)
Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ-E)
Assesses the prevalence and severity of musculoskeletal pain or discomfort in 9 body regions (e.g., neck, back, wrists).More affirmative responses indicate higher musculoskeletal symptom burden.
Measured: 0 day
