Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between smartphone addiction and back pain, function, and lumbar stabilizer cross-sectional area and thickness compared with non-addicted teenagers.

Conditions

Back Disorder; Smartphone Addiction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Assessment of back function and disability

  Functional disability will be assessed by the Oswestry disability questionnaire, a functional scale assessing the impact of LBP on daily activities. It is a self-administered, 10-item questionnaire: the first section rates the intensity of pain and the others describe its disabling effect on typical daily activities. The score for each item ranges from 0 to 5, the score is calculated by the addition of the values assigned for each of the 10 individual questions

  at baseline only

• Musculoskeletal assessment By Ultrasonography

  Ultrasonography will be used for measuring CSA and MT of LMM. Muscle thickness measurement by US.

  at baseline only

• Core muscles strength

  Core stability will be measured using prone and supine bridging as bridging maneuvers seem to be practical, reliable, and valid methods of reflecting lumbar spine stabilization endurance capability. In prone bridge each subject will be in the prone position, supporting on the elbows. The elbows will be spaced shoulder-width apart, and the feet were set with a narrow base, but not touching. The subject then asked to raise the pelvis from the floor so that only the forearms and the toes were in contact with the floor. The shoulders, hips, and ankles were maintained in a straight line.
