Brief summary
The aim and objective of this study is to check the prevalence of helmet associated neck pain among TCS riders.
Detailed description
Finding the overall prevalence of neck pain linked to helmet use is the goal of the study. On the other hand, the TCS delivery riders of Gujranwala, who wear helmets for extended periods of time throughout their daily employment, are a larger and more pertinent demographic in our study. Furthermore, our study is a significant and much-needed addition to this field as no prior research has explicitly examined the prevalence of helmet-associated neck pain among TCS riders.
