Abstract

Neck pain is one of the main causes of disability for modern men. Text neck results from abnormalities in the posture of the upper body. It arises as a result of non-ergonomic positions in which man uses modern information technology devices. The most severe consequence of this poor posture is pain in the neck and upper back. The widespread use of these in particular mobile multimedia devices poses a risk of neck pain, especially among younger generations. This article tries to answer two questions: 1. What factors contribute to the appearance of pain in “text neck syndrome”? 2. How to measure postural distortion in “text neck syndrome”?

Abstract

It is difficult to imagine the modern world without information technology, and people without computers, laptops or smartphones. The threats posed by modern technologies are largely related to posture disorders. In the article, on the basis of the collected English-language literature, I consider the most typical of these threats, which is “text neck”, a disease little-known in Poland – text neck syndrome. This article tries to answer the question what “text neck” is.
