Overview
Brief Summary
The pandemic process has caused very important changes and effects in the economy, social life and education practices, especially health at global level. Within the scope of the measures taken, with the closure of educational institutions and interruption of face-to-face education, the education of 1.6 billion students, which corresponds to approximately half of the student population from all educational levels, has been interrupted. The need and approach to open and distance learning has come to the fore with significant changes and effects on education worldwide. Pandemic measures, the transition to distance education and the increase in computer usage caused an increase in ergonomic risks in students. Due to the pandemic process, it has been reported that the physical activity level of students decreases and the sitting period is prolonged. In this study, physiotherapy students who receive distance education will be given online ergonomics and physical activity training and the results will be evaluated.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in ergonomic risks in the distance education process
Time Frame: Baseline, change from baseline ergonomics risks levels at 6 weeks
The ergonomic risk levels of the participants in the distance education process will be determined by Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) .The Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) was designed to quickly quantify risks associated with computer work and to establish an action level for change based on reports of worker discomfort. Ergonomic risk assessment will be done after online training and brochure information for all participants.
Secondary Outcomes
- Measuring the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorder By Cornell questionniare Questionnaire(Baseline, 6 weeks)
