| Cervical range of motion will be assessed to determine the mobility of the cervical spine in different directions, and pain pressure threshold of deep neck flexors will be measured to evaluate muscle sensitivity and pain response.Timepoint: Baseline (Single - session assessment) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Body mass index will be recorded to classify participants into different weight categories and to analyze its influence on cervical function.Timepoint: Baseline (Single - session assessment);Smartphone addiction score will be measured using a standardized scale to assess the level of device dependency and its relationship with cervical parameters.Timepoint: Baseline (Single - session assessment);Screen time exposure will be assessed in hours per day to evaluate its association with cervical mobility and muscle sensitivity.Timepoint: Baseline (Single - session assessment);pain intensity will be evaluated using the Visual Analog ScaleTimepoint: Baseline (Single - session assessment) | — |
