Effects of stress and visual display unit work on tension-type headache and tension neck syndrome

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to create two power point presentations for a project in Soteekki, which is a service centre at Satakunta University of Applied Sciences. The material will be used for prevention of tension-type headache and tension neck syndrome in students starting their studies at Satakunta University of Applied Sciences. The power point presentations provide practical advice and suggestion for how tension-type headache and tension neck syndrome can be prevented by relaxation and ergonomics. The presentations explain how stress and visual display unit work affect tension-type headache and tension neck syndrome. In addition to the topics mentioned above, the theory part aims to explain what tension-type headache and tension neck syndrome actually are, and which are their risk factors.
