The relationship between smartphone use duration and cervical dysfunction in university students


Author(s): Sanhita Bose

Abstract:
Objective: This study examines how prolonged mobile phone use affects neck posture, headache occurrence, and cervical range of motion in university students.
Methods: Neck posture was assessed using photographic analysis, headaches were recorded through self-reported surveys, and cervical range of motion was measured with a goniometer. Participants were categorized based on their daily mobile phone use, and statistical analyses were performed to explore relationships between mobile phone usage and the outcomes.
Results: revealed a significant correlation between extended mobile phone use and poor neck posture, increased headache prevalence, and reduced cervical range of motion.
The findings suggest that excessive mobile phone usage adversely affects musculoskeletal health, emphasizing the need for interventions to mitigate these issues. This research provides insights into the ultimate consequences of modern technology on physical well-being and underscores the importance of ergonomic practices.
