Effect of Use Smartphone in Forward Head Position and Neutral Position on Upper Limbs Nerves

NCT04647799 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: 012/002542
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 150
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

To compare between two different positions (forward head position and neutral position) when using mobile phone by hand using nerve conduction velocity and F-wave of upper limb nerves ( ulnar, median and radial) in 4 different times.

Conditions

Mobile Phone Use

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity and f-wave in neutral position

  motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity and f-wave will measured to nerves of upper extremities ( median, ulnar and radial nerves) in neutral position by using electrodiagnosis when using mobile phone

  1 day

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity and f-wave measured in forward head position during use mobile phone

  1 day

Study Arms (2)

forward head position

nerve conduction velocity and f-wave applied to median , ulnar and radial nerve before and after 10,20 and 30 minutes in forward head position while Children will sit on chair with their feet on the ground without any tension, the upper limbs are rested in a table then, the angle between the line passing horizontally from the spinous process of C7 and the line passing between the tragus and spinous process of C7 will be measured by goniometer and goniometer pro application to evaluate the craniovertebral angle recording, we will fix the craniovertebral angle between 40.7° and 43.2°(severe FHP )

Device: smartphone

neutral position

nerve conduction velocity and f-wave applied to median , ulnar and radial nerve before and after 10,20 and 30 minutes while Children will sit on chair with their feet on the ground with head in anatomical position, the upper are rested in a table and used both hand on touch screen of mobile phone

Device: smartphone
