Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
One group will be assigned
The group will include people with smartphone addiction, who will receive a Finkelstein test for both dominant and non dominant hand, then the both hands grip and bench strength will be tested.
Device: Hand grip strength dynamometer, pinch strength dynamometer
Both devices will be used to assign the strength of grip and pinch for both dominant and non dominant hands by using jamar hydraulic hand grip strength dynamometer and Jamar hydraulic pinch strength dynamometer
Diagnostic test: Finkelstein test
Finkelstein test which is used to diagnose the de quervain tenosynovitis and it will be used to assist the people with smartphone addiction

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Dominant hand grip strength and Non-Dominant hand grip strength by the using of jamar hydraulic grip strength dynamometer
Time Frame: 1 Day
1 Day
Dominant hand pinch strength and non-dominant hand pinch strength by the using of jamar hydraulic pinch strength dynamometer
Time Frame: 1 Day
1 Day

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The degree of pain during the finkelstein test by the using of visual analoug scale
Time Frame: 1 Day
The visual analoug scale (vas) will be used to identify the degree of pain that the participant felt during the finkelstein test the scale values are from 0mm to 100mm 0mm means he didn't feel any pain which is good, 100mm means he felt the morst pain which is bad
