Effect Of Smart Phone Addiction On Pulmonary Function, And Functional Capacity In Children

Statement of the problem:

Are there relations between smartphone addiction, neck posture, pulmonary functions and functional capacity in children? Null hypothesis

It will be assumed that:

• There will be no effect of smart phone addiction on head posture, pulmonary function and functional capacity in children.
• There will be no relation between smartphone addiction, head posture, pulmonary function and functional capacity in children.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Pulmonary Function; Functional Capacity; Smartphone Addiction; School Age Children

Detailed Description

Subjects:

Sample size estimation will be carried out to determine the recruited number of children selected randomly from both governmental and private primary and preparatory schools at El Mansoura educational administration, Dakahlia Governorate and Damietta governorate to participate in this study. The survey targets the normal students from both sexes.

They will be selected based on the following:

Inclusion criteria:

• All children will be age ranges from 10 to 12 years
• The BMI <95th percentile (WHO, 2007)
• Smartphone addiction scale short version will be used to categorize the children to addicted group (score > 32) (Kwon et al., 2013) .
• They will be cooperative and followed the instructions.

Exclusive criteria:

Children will be excluded from the study if they have:

• Neurological diseases.
• Respiratory disorders.
• Congenital deformities.
• Vision disorders not corrected by glasses.
• Children who participate in competitive sports.
• Obesity.

• Study Type: Observational
• Enrollment (Anticipated): 100

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
evaluation of pulmonary functions	Computerized spirometer is the most frequently used measure of lung function and is a measure of volume against time. It is a simple and quick procedure to perform	baseline only

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
evaluation of functional capacity	By 3 minutes step test It is based on the principles that your heart rate will return to normal quickly the fitter you are the value of post- exercise heart is considered to be an indicator to cardiovascular fitness	baseline only

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
evaluation craniovertebral angle	By Kinovea computer program A free 2D motion analysis software	baseline only
