Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine different mechanical posture changes in adolescent females at public schools compared to international schools.

Detailed Description

Two hundred adolescent female subjects at public schools and in this study. All subjects will be recruited from different schools. 1-Group A: it will be consists of 200 adolescent female from public schools, will be evaluated by Posture screen mobile, (BackPEI) questionnaire , VISUAL ANALOG SCALE (VAS)and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21(DASS-21).

2- Group B: it will be consists of 200 adolescent female from international schools, will be evaluated by Posture screen mobile, (BackPEI) questionnaire , VISUAL ANALOG SCALE (VAS) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21(DASS-21).

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
A(public school)	mechanical posture changes	it will be consists of 200 adolescent female from public schools, their age will be ranged from 13 to 17 years, initiated menstrual cycle and BMI more than 20.mechanical posture changes will be evaluated by Posture screen mobile. back pain and life style will be evaluated by (BackPEI) questionnaire. pain will be evaluated by VISUAL ANALOG SCALE(VAS) .stress will be evaluated by Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21(DASS-21).
B(international school)	mechanical posture changes	it will be consists of 200 adolescent female from international schools their age will be ranged from 13 to 17 years, initiated menstrual cycle and BMI more than 20.mechanical posture changes will be evaluated by Posture screen mobile. back pain and life style will be evaluated by (BackPEI) questionnaire .pain will be evaluated by VISUAL ANALOG SCALE (VAS).stress will be evaluated by Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21(DASS-21).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
posture deviations	up to 6months	Lateral shift from the midline and tilting through frontal and lateral views.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
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.
height	up to 6months	Anthropometric measurement measure by centimeter (cm).
weight	up to 6months	Anthropometric measurement measure by kilogram (kg).
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.
body mass index (BMI).	up to 6 months	calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by your height (in metres squared). kg/m2
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
