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