Correlation Between BMI and Craniovertebral Angle and Their Impact on Hand Grip Strength and Neck Functional Disability in Egyptian University Student

June 25, 2024 updated by: Mohamed Ababa, Ahram Canadian University

Objective: To find the relation between cranio-vertebral angle and hand grip strength in university student mobile users.

Design: cross sectional study. Setting: Ahram Candian University Subjects:100 male and female university students with age ranged from 20 to 30 years old will participate in this study.

Intervention: cross sectional study to detect the relation between cranio-vertebral angle and hand grip strength in university student mobile users.

Main measures:

  • FHP app (Pyeongtaek, South Korea) mobile application
  • Hand dynamometer (the JAMAR® Hydraulic Hand) (Lupton-Smith et al.,2022)
  • Mechanical height and weight scale
  • Visual Analogue Scale
  • Arabic Neck Disability Index Results: The results will be obtained via one-way analyses of variance (ANOVA).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
craniovertebral angle will measured by FHP (Forward Head Posture ) mobile application
Time Frame: baseline
It is a mobile application which is objective to detect the cervical posture by measuring the CV angle. It is an application that requires an Android version 4.0 or higher installed on a smartphone
baseline
Hand grip strength will measured by Hand dynamometer (the JAMAR® Hydraulic Hand)
Time Frame: baseline
it is tool used to asses hand grip strength
baseline
Pain level will measured by Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: base line
VAS is a line with a length of 10 where one end (right) means no pain and the other means severe unbearable pain. Each patient was asked to put a mark on the line that mostly describe his or her pain intensity.
base line
Neck functional disability will assess by Arabic Neck Disability Index
Time Frame: baseline
it consist of 10 questions in total, including ones about pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, driving, concentration, work, sleeping, and recreation Each item is scored from 0 (no disability) to 5 (total disability)
baseline
