Neck Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
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).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| craniovertebral angle will measured by FHP (Forward Head Posture ) mobile application | baseline | 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 |
| Hand grip strength will measured by Hand dynamometer (the JAMAR® Hydraulic Hand) | baseline | it is tool used to asses hand grip strength |
| Pain level will measured by Visual Analogue Scale | base line | 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. |
| Neck functional disability will assess by Arabic Neck Disability Index | baseline | 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) |
