Read the detailed description
Addictive participants will be assigned and enrolled in the study according to there addiction score on smartphone addiction scale.
Participants will receive a Finkelstein test for both dominant and non dominant hand for the de quervain tenosynovitis.
Then the strentgh of both hand grip and pinch grip for both hands will be tested using hand grip strength dynamometer and pinch strentgh dynamometer.
- Conditions

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Hand grip strength dynamometer, pinch strength dynamometerDevice
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
Finkelstein testDiagnostic test
Finkelstein test which is used to diagnose the de quervain tenosynovitis and it will be used to assist the people with smartphone addiction
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 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. Receives: Device: Hand grip strength dynamometer, pinch strength dynamometer; Diagnostic Test: Finkelstein test |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Dominant hand grip strength and Non-Dominant hand grip strength by the using of jamar hydraulic grip strength dynamometer
Measured: 1 Day
Dominant hand pinch strength and non-dominant hand pinch strength by the using of jamar hydraulic pinch strength dynamometer
Measured: 1 Day
Secondary outcomes (1)
The degree of pain during the finkelstein test by the using of visual analoug scale
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
Measured: 1 Day
