Summary

This study will be conducted to investigate the correlation between the number of hours of smartphone usage and severity of text neck posture, cervical ROM, DNF endurance and resting head posture among asymptomatic 18 to 25 years old adults

Detailed description

Smartphone use has increased significantly globally, with 79% of adults aged 18-44 carrying a smartphone constantly. This can cause excessive anterior curves in the neck vertebrae and increase the mechanical load on cervical spine joints. Overuse syndrome, spinal damage, and other side effects can result. This study aims to investigate the correlation between time spent using smartphones and text neck posture and its association with head and neck posture, cervical ROM, and DNF endurance among asymptomatic 18-25-year-olds.
