About this study
Official title: Prevalence of Nerd Neck Between Different Students at Taibah University, Saudi Arabia; Cross Section Design
A convenient sample of 82 female students aged 18-24 years participated in analytic observational experiment cross section design. Students were recruited into two groups, practical and non-practical. to answer the following
- Is there a difference in the prevalence of nerd neck between students of practical and non-practical studying groups at Taibah University from the sitting position?
- Is there a difference in the prevalence of nerd neck between students of practical and non-practical studying groups at Taibah University from the standing position?
- Conditions
- CERVICAL
- Being tested
- tragus to wall distance (TWD), craniovertebral angle (CVA) by smart phone application
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
tragus to wall distance (TWD), craniovertebral angle (CVA) by smart phone applicationDevice
Applying photogrammetric method for CVA by smart phone application and measure nerd neck objectively from both sitting and standing positions. Also, tragus to wall distance method was used to detect degree of nerd neck from the standing position.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| practical group | Not described Receives: Device: tragus to wall distance (TWD), craniovertebral angle (CVA) by smart phone application | |
| non-practical group | Not described Receives: Device: tragus to wall distance (TWD), craniovertebral angle (CVA) by smart phone application |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
the prevalence of nerd neck
we measured nerd neck by calculating CVA by tragus wall distance test from standing position
Measured: one day

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
A convenient sample of 82 female students aged 18-24 years participated in analytic observational experiment cross section design. Students were recruited into two groups, practical and non-practical. to answer the following
- Is there a difference in the prevalence of nerd neck between students of practical and non-practical studying groups at Taibah University from the sitting position?
- Is there a difference in the prevalence of nerd neck between students of practical and non-practical studying groups at Taibah University from the standing position?
