Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
