简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of progressive cervical isometric exercises and scapular stabilization exercises on pain, ROM and disability in young adults with text neck syndrome.
详细描述
Text neck or Turtle neck posture is the latest term coined by Dr. Dean L. Fishman that demonstrates the repeated stress, injury, and pain in the neck due to having the head in a forward position by excessive use of cell phones or hand-held mobile devices for a prolonged time. The use of mobile devices is becoming a concern especially in children, recent numbers are very alarming and according to surveys 87% of teenagers in America and 79% of teenagers in the UK are mobile phone owners and are greatly affected by them, these numbers have skyrocketed by recent COVID-19 pandemic as the social distancing and closure of the school, colleges and offices have pushed us to work from home and it increases the prevalence of text neck syndrome. This study is unique in that as it investigate the effect of two different treatment plans for turtle neck syndrome.

结局指标
主要结局
NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale)
时间窗: 3 months
The NPRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. Similar to the VAS, the NPRS is anchored by terms describing pain severity extremes
Inclinometer
时间窗: 3 months
An inclinometer is a medical device used to measure the range of motion of the joint. They are mainly used to measure the passive range of motion and allow the medical practitioner to compare the patient's relaxed position to the ability to move
Goniometer
时间窗: 3 months
A goniometer is an instrument that either measures an angle or allows an object to be rotated to a precise angular position
NDI (Neck disability Index)
时间窗: 3 months
The Neck Disability Index (NDI) is modification of the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index. It is Patient-completed, condition-specific functional status questionnaire with 10 items including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation
