Summary

The study was done to: 1. Investigate the correlation between smart phone overuse and craniovertebral angle in adolescents. 2. Investigate the correlation between smart phone overuse and cervical muscle endurance in adolescents. 3. Investigate the correlation between smart phone overuse and temporomandibular joint proprioception in adolescents.

Detailed description

This study was aimed to clarify the correlation between prolonged use of spinal traction on cervical curvature, muscle endurance, and temporomandibular joint proprioception in adolescents. It assisted physiotherapists in detecting and treating problems caused by prolonged spinal traction use, providing necessary precautions and treatments to prevent or alleviate this issue.
