About this study

Two hundred adolescent female subjects at public schools and in this study. All subjects will be recruited from different schools. 1-Group A: it will be consists of 200 adolescent female from public schools, will be evaluated by Posture screen mobile, (BackPEI) questionnaire , VISUAL ANALOG SCALE (VAS)and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21(DASS-21).

2- Group B: it will be consists of 200 adolescent female from international schools, will be evaluated by Posture screen mobile, (BackPEI) questionnaire , VISUAL ANALOG SCALE (VAS) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21(DASS-21).

Treatment and study plan

mechanical posture changes

Diagnostic Test

evaluated by Posture screen mobile, (BackPEI) questionnaire , VISUAL ANALOG SCALE (VAS), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21(DASS-21).

Primary outcomes

  1. posture deviations

    Time frame: up to 6months

    Lateral shift from the midline and tilting through frontal and lateral views.

Secondary outcomes

  1. weight

    Time frame: up to 6months

    Anthropometric measurement measure by kilogram (kg).

  2. height

    Time frame: up to 6months

    Anthropometric measurement measure by centimeter (cm).

  3. body mass index (BMI).

    Time frame: up to 6 months

    calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by your height (in metres squared). kg/m2

  4. Back Pain and Body Posture Evaluation Instrument (BackPEI) questionnaire

    Time frame: up to 6months

    Back Pain and Body Posture Evaluation Instrument .The BackPEI questionnaire consists of 21 closed questions, which address the occurrence, frequency and intensity of pain, as well as questions on demographic (age, gender) and behavioral factors (level of exercise, competitive or non-competitive practice of exercise, daily hours watching television and using the computer, number of daily hours of sleep, reading and/or studying in bed, and postures in activities of daily living.

  5. Visual analogue scale

    Time frame: up to 6months

    Numerical pain rating scale (minimum score 0 and maximum score 10) ,Instruct the patient to choose a number from 0 to 10 that best describes their current pain. 0 would mean "no pain" and 10 would mean "worst possible pain.

  6. Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21(DASS-21)

    Time frame: up to 6months

    Was developed to provide a self-report measure of anxiety, depression and stress signals. During the development process.Questionnaire consists of 21 questions,seven questions for depression ,seven for anxiety and seven for stress assessment.The responses are given on a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from zero if "I strongly disagree" to 3 if "I totally agree". Overall scores for the three constructs are calculated as the sum of scores for the relevant seven items multiplied by two. Ranges of scores correspond to levels of symptoms, ranging from "normal" to "extremely serious
