“…The captured image was uploaded into the WPD software, and the angles of FHP were measured using "angles measure" function. The angle measuring function is a mathematical algorithm which transforms the three dots on the image into Cartesian coordinates axis and auto-calculates the angles [19][20][21].…”

Background: Young adults today have grown up with mobile phones as an integral part of their lives. Smartphones are increasingly central to our daily routines, serving as tools for tasks both at work and home. However, excessive smartphone use can adversely affect the neck and shoulder regions by altering their biomechanics, leading to pain and discomfort—a phenomenon now recognized as "TEXT NECK." The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence rate and assess key physical variables crucial to the biomechanics of the cervical region. Methods: A total of 428 participants were selected from various colleges, and both the Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPAD) and the Text Neck Questionnaire (TNQ) were completed by all participants. The TNQ was validated by comparing scores with those of the NPAD, and participants with a TNQ score of 15 or higher were identified for further analysis of physical parameters. Results: The prevalence rates for neck pain, shoulder pain, continuous mobile phone use, and usage exceeding 4 hours per day among college students were 29.4%, 24.3%, 68.9%, and 49.5%, respectively. Sleep quality and neck discomfort were also impacted in the 428 participants. Following TNQ scoring, 35 participants with higher scores were selected, and their range of motion (ROM), endurance, and postural angles were compared with and without phone usage. Conclusion: Significantly different results were observed in ROM, postural angles, and cervical muscle endurance. The prevalence of Text Neck among the 428 college students was 29.2%, with 80% of those having scores between 15 and 20, indicating a high prevalence among 35 participants. Physical parameters, such as ROM, endurance, and postural angles, were altered in these 35 participants, correlating with a higher rate of neck pain.

“…The Web Plot Digitizer has an intra-rater of 0.71-0.99, which indicates that this instrument is good and reliable for measuring neck posture. 15 These two variables were then processed using nonparametric statistical tests because both data were categorical, so the data were freely distributed and did not use the normality test. The statistical test used was the chi-square test with a significance level (α) of 5% or 0.05.…”

Introduction: College students use smartphones with a high level of use, high levels of smartphone use due to various purposes such as academic and non-academic needs, and prolonged use of smartphones with poor posture can cause permanent changes in posture to their users. One of the posture changes that can occur is the forward head posture (FHP). Methods: The research design was a cross-sectional study conducted from August to December 2021 with a population of Udayana University Physiotherapy students who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sampling technique in this study was purposive sampling, and obtained 62 samples. This study used the YourHour application and Web Plot Digitizer to measure the duration of smartphone use and the craniovertebral angle, respectively. Data were analyzed by SPSS 16.0 to determine the relationship between smartphone use with forward head posture occurrence in physiotherapy students. Results: The majority of students who were in the research sample used smartphones with a high level of duration, as many as 46 samples; in 46 samples with a high level of duration found, 28 samples experienced forward head posture, in students with moderate and low duration levels, forward head posture is rare. The results of the chi-square obtained are p-value = 0.009. it indicates that there is a relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable. Conclusion: There is a relationship between the duration of smartphone conditions and forward head posture in students of the Physiotherapy Undergraduate Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University. In this study, it can be seen that the forward head posture is the majority of smartphones with high intensity.
