About this study
- see if there is significant difference between subjects with forward head rounded shoulder posture and subjects with normal posture in hand grip strength in asymptomatic young adults
- see if there is significant difference between subjects with rounded shoulder posture and subjects with normal posture in hand grip strength in asymptomatic young adults
Read the detailed description
- in forward head posture there is flexion in lower cervical vertebrae that causes tension on lower cervical nerve roots according to Harrison systemic review and these lower cervical nerve roots supply hand muscles
- also in rounded shoulder posture there is weakness in scapular stabilizers and retractors which affect proximal stability of the arm
- proximal stability is important for distal mobility
- so from this biomechanical point of veiw we conduct this study to see if forward head and rounded shoulder posture can affect hand grip strength in asymptomatic young adults.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Rounded shoulder posture group | -distance between the on table and posterior aspect of lateral part of acromion process ≥ 2.5 cm | |
| forward head rounded shoulder posture | * craniovertebral angle (CVA) ≤ 50 degree * distance between on table and acromion ≥ 2.5 cm | |
| normal posture group | 1. Craniovertebral angle> 50 degree 2. distance between on table and acromion < 2.5 cm |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Muscle Weakness, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
hand grip strength (time frame: 6 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jul 2018.
