About this trial

Objective: To find the relation between cranio-vertebral angle and hand grip strength in university student mobile users.

Design: cross sectional study. Setting: Ahram Candian University Subjects:100 male and female university students with age ranged from 20 to 30 years old will participate in this study.

Intervention: cross sectional study to detect the relation between cranio-vertebral angle and hand grip strength in university student mobile users.

Main measures:

* FHP app (Pyeongtaek, South Korea) mobile application * Hand dynamometer (the JAMAR® Hydraulic Hand) (Lupton-Smith et al.,2022) * Mechanical height and weight scale * Visual Analogue Scale * Arabic Neck Disability Index Results: The results will be obtained via one-way analyses of variance (ANOVA).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

craniovertebral angle will measured by FHP (Forward Head Posture ) mobile application

It is a mobile application which is objective to detect the cervical posture by measuring the CV angle. It is an application that requires an Android version 4.0 or higher installed on a smartphone

Time frame
baseline
2

Hand grip strength will measured by Hand dynamometer (the JAMAR® Hydraulic Hand)

it is tool used to asses hand grip strength

Time frame
baseline
3

Pain level will measured by Visual Analogue Scale

VAS is a line with a length of 10 where one end (right) means no pain and the other means severe unbearable pain. Each patient was asked to put a mark on the line that mostly describe his or her pain intensity.

Time frame
base line
4

Neck functional disability will assess by Arabic Neck Disability Index

it consist of 10 questions in total, including ones about pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, driving, concentration, work, sleeping, and recreation Each item is scored from 0 (no disability) to 5 (total disability)

Time frame
