AI-Assisted Camera-Based Progressive Muscle Relaxation for Office Workers

Effectiveness of an AI-Assisted Camera-Based Progressive Muscle Relaxation Application in Office Workers: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Sponsor

Istanbul Medipol University Hospital

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Apr 8, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of an AI-assisted, camera-based progressive muscle relaxation application in office workers aged 20 to 40 years. Participants are randomly allocated to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group completes a 4-week progressive muscle relaxation program using the PhysioTR Academic application, which provides camera-based real-time movement analysis and exercise guidance. The control group continues their usual daily routine and completes baseline and post-intervention assessments only. Outcomes include pain/tension intensity, musculoskeletal symptoms, perceived stress, neck disability, work productivity, functionality, and AI-based adherence metrics.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALAI-Assisted Camera-Based Progressive Muscle Relaxation Program

A camera-based progressive muscle relaxation program delivered through the PhysioTR Academic web application. The intervention includes 4 weeks of training, 3 sessions per week, for a total of 12 sessions. The application provides written and/or audio instructions and uses camera-based real-time movement analysis to support exercise performance and adherence monitoring.
