Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Young adults have a high prevalence of smartphone addiction. Many adolescents use their smartphones extensively for communication, which starts out as a habit but eventually turns into an addiction. Numerous studies have shown that adolescents use social media for roughly ten hours every day.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A (Whole body vibration group)

Whole body vibration (WBV) group will receive vibration on the platform for 20 repetitions in 2 sets with 2 minutes rest between sets in addition to strengthening exercises to the hand muscles.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Whole body vibration

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants will be asked to sit on an chair without armrests close to the platform and will be asked to perform 90° shoulder flexion, bend both elbows slightly, flex the trunk forwards and place both hands on the platform.

Strengthening exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will use elastic resistance for the finger extension and flexion exercises, and ball to strength wrist flexors for two sets of 10 repetitions within a training session.

Group B (Sham Whole body vibration group)

participants will receive WBV with the device turned off in addition to strengthening exercises to the hand muscles.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Sham Whole body vibration

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants will receive the vibration with the device turned off.

Strengthening exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will use elastic resistance for the finger extension and flexion exercises, and ball to strength wrist flexors for two sets of 10 repetitions within a training session.
