Abstract:
A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the relationship between cervical pain and the hours spent using mobile devices in a cervical flexion position. The participants were first-year physiotherapy students aged between 18 and 35 years. The presence of cervical pain, the time of mobile phone use, and the degrees of cervical flexion were recorded. It was concluded that cervical pain in university students is not related to the hours spent using the mobile phone in a sustained cervical flexion position.
