Mechanical Posture Changes in Adolescent Female at Public Schools Compared to International Schools

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

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Adolescent Behavior
• Intervention / Treatment: Diagnostic test: mechanical posture changes

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).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
posture deviations	Lateral shift from the midline and tilting through frontal and lateral views.	up to 6months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
weight	Anthropometric measurement measure by kilogram (kg).	up to 6months
height	Anthropometric measurement measure by centimeter (cm).	up to 6months
body mass index (BMI).	calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by your height (in metres squared). kg/m2	up to 6 months
Back Pain and Body Posture Evaluation Instrument (BackPEI) questionnaire	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.	up to 6months
Visual analogue scale	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.	up to 6months
Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21(DASS-21)	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	up to 6months
