Preamble. Billions of people are using cell phone devices on the planet, essentially in poor posture. The purpose of this study is to assess the forces incrementally seen by the cervical spine as the head is tilted forward, into worsening posture. This data is also necessary for cervical spine surgeons to understand in the reconstruction of the neck.

Analysis of a customized cervical collar to improve neck posture during smartphone usage: a comparative study in healthy subjects
TLDR
Smartphone use increased both the head and neck flexion in different postures, and the proposed customized 3D-printed cervical collar significantly reduced theHead and neck angles.
Ergonomics in microsurgery
There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that surgeon posture while operating contributes to cervical musculoskeletal strain, discomfort, and chronic pain. Microsurgeons may be particularly…
Ergonomics in the Operating Room: The Cervicospinal Health of Today's Surgeons.
TLDR
The purpose of this article is to assess the spinal health of today's surgeons by evaluating available research in various surgical subspecialties, and to enhance the understanding of cervical spine health as it pertains to the plastic and reconstructive surgeon.
Relationship between Forward Head Posture and Tissue Mechanosensitivity: A Cross-Sectional Study
TLDR
The influence of FHP in the mechanosensitivity of articular, muscular, and neural tissues related to the cervical spine was analysed and subjects with FHP showed a less pressure pain threshold and showed less extension and right-rotation range of motion.
The Effect of Technological Devices on Cervical Lordosis
TLDR
The use of computing devices, especially mobile telephones, and the increase in the flexion of the cervical spine indicate that cervical vertebral problems will increase even in younger people in future.
The effect of applying a head-weight device on cervical angle and pain of neck muscles
TLDR
The changes in pain threshold of levator scapular muscle, carniovertebral angle, and head position angle when applying a head-weight device on healthy adult showed a significant change.
Text neck: An adverse postural phenomenon.
TLDR
The anatomical, biomechanical and muscle activation changes within the cervical and thoracic regions associated with the sustained, forward, flexed neck posture, observed with excessive usage of hand-held mobile devices are discussed.
Cervical spine joint loading with neck flexion
TLDR
Results from this study can reinforce the need for appropriate workstation and monitor configurations and support the increased loading hypothesised to occur in ‘text neck’ postures.
Effects of Cervical Stabilization Exercise Using Pressure Biofeedback on Neck Pain, Forward Head Posture and Acoustic Characteristics of Chronic Neck Pain Patients with Forward Head Posture
TLDR
Patients with chronic neck pain and voice disorders presenting at the S Exercise Center in Daegu, Korea, were included in the study and pressure biofeedback was utilized to determine the impact of the exercises on neck pain, forward head posture, and the acoustic characteristics frequency and amplitude modulation.
The prevalence of cervical extension deficit among young adults: a cross-sectional observational study
TLDR
It is concluded that there is a moderate positive correlated between the numbers of years of Smartphone usage and cervical extension deficit with history of neck pain.

Powerful Postures Versus Powerful Roles
TLDR
Body postures are discussed as one of the most proximate correlates of the manifestations of power, and had a larger effect on action than recalling an experience of high or low power.
Power Posing
TLDR
The results of this study confirmed the prediction that posing in high-power nonverbal displays would cause neuroendocrine and behavioral changes for both male and female participants, and suggest that embodiment extends beyond mere thinking and feeling, to physiology and subsequent behavioral choices.
