Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 30 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

1- This study will comprise 300 healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 30 who needed to use a smart phone

You may qualify if:

• \- 1- This study will comprise healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 30 who needed to use a smart phone.
• Subjects who put in more than 4 hours per day using smartphone.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients will rule out if
• They had any medical condition that could cause shoulder pain (such as impingement, subacromial bursitis, rotator cuff damage, or traumatic or degenerative supraspinatus tendonitis).
• Anyone with a positive Neer sign, a positive Hawkins sign, discomfort during shoulder elevation, pain at the location of the rotator cuff tendon, pain with resisted isometric shoulder abduction, or a history of pain in the C5 dermatome will be ruled out.
• Any individual who had previously suffered a musculoskeletal injury or surgery that could have influenced the measurement will be also eliminated.
