Brief Summary

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

The progression rate of forward head posture has increased because of the increase in postural loads, to which individuals are subjected because of developed technologies including mobile phones, computers, and televisions. Postural abnormality in the upper cervical region has the potential to lead to nerve irritation and cervical radiculopathy. so the purpose of study is to investigate if there is a relationship between forward head posture and cervical radiculopathy in smart phone users.
