Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Neck Pain
• Interventions: Other: • FHP app (Pyeongtaek, South Korea) mobile application

• Registration Number: NCT06475079
• Lead Sponsor: Ahram Canadian University

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).

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Group (B):	• FHP app (Pyeongtaek, South Korea) mobile application	Body mass index \> 25
Group (A):	• FHP app (Pyeongtaek, South Korea) mobile application	Body mass index \< 25

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
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
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)
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.
