About this study
Official title: Smartphone Addiction and Isometric Rotator Cuff Muscles Strength Among Adults
To investigate the relationship between smartphone addiction and isometric rotator cuff muscles strength among adults
Read the detailed description
Smartphones play an important role in human life because they are used for communication, accessing the internet, and gaming. The rate of smartphone usage has increased over the last decade, as has the duration and frequency of use. according to one study, 79 percent of people aged 18 to 44 spent almost all of their time on their smartphones, with only two hours of the day spent without one.
No previous study has found a link between smartphone addiction and isometric Rotator Cuff muscular strength, to the authors' knowledge. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study will be to determine the relationship between smartphone addiction and isometric rotator cuff muscles strength.

What does the primary outcome measure?
isometric strength of rotator cuff (time frame: up to 3 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06633081, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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.
