Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Smartphone addiction group
Participants with smartphone addiction
Assessment of Cervical Pain Pressure Threshold
The cervical PPTs were assessed using a mechanical pressure algometer (Baseline Force Gauge Model 12-0304; Baseline, NY, USA).
Assessment of general cervical mobility
Cervical mobility was assessed using the CROM (Cervical Range of Motion) deluxe device.
Assessment of upper cervical mobility
It will be assessed using the CROM device and the flexion-rotation test.
Assessment of Body Awareness
Body awareness will be assessed using a questionnaire designed to determine normal or abnormal sensitivity levels in body composition.
Assessment of head posture:
Head posture was assessed using photographic methods and craniovertebral angle
Control Group
Participants without smarthone addiction
Assessment of Cervical Pain Pressure Threshold
The cervical PPTs were assessed using a mechanical pressure algometer (Baseline Force Gauge Model 12-0304; Baseline, NY, USA).
