Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| posture deviations | up to 6months | Lateral shift from the midline and tilting through frontal and lateral views. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| height | up to 6months | Anthropometric measurement measure by centimeter (cm). |
| body mass index (BMI). | up to 6 months | calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by your height (in metres squared). kg/m2 |
| weight | up to 6months | Anthropometric measurement measure by kilogram (kg). |
| Visual analogue scale | up to 6months | Numerical pain rating scale (minimum score 0 and maximum score 10) ,Instruct the patient to choose a number from 0 to 10 that best describes their current pain. 0 would mean no pain and 10 would mean worst possible pain. |
| Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21(DASS-21) | up to 6months | Was developed to provide a self-report measure of anxiety, depression and stress signals. During the development process.Questionnaire consists of 21 questions,seven questions for depression ,seven for anxiety and seven for stress assessment.The responses are given on a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from zero if I strongly disagree to 3 if I totally agree. Overall scores for the three constructs are calculated as the sum of scores for the relevant seven items multiplied by two. Ranges of scores correspond to levels of symptoms, ranging from normal to extremely serious |
| Back Pain and Body Posture Evaluation Instrument (BackPEI) questionnaire | up to 6months | Back Pain and Body Posture Evaluation Instrument .The BackPEI questionnaire consists of 21 closed questions, which address the occurrence, frequency and intensity of pain, as well as questions on demographic (age, gender) and behavioral factors (level of exercise, competitive or non-competitive practice of exercise, daily hours watching television and using the computer, number of daily hours of sleep, reading and/or studying in bed, and postures in activities of daily living. |
