Can Neck Holders Reduce the Risk of Neck Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Smartphone Users?

Smartphone overuse has been associated with musculoskeletal disorders, particularly neck disorders, often caused by poor posture, such as forward head tilt. Neck pain and stiffness are prevalent among smartphone users. Maintaining a neck flexion angle of ۰-۱۵ degrees during smartphone use may reduce the risk of these disorders. Smartphone neck holders, designed to position phones at eye level, could help improve posture and alleviate neck strain. However, their ergonomic effectiveness and design remain unstudied, highlighting the need for research to ensure these devices promote neck health and prevent musculoskeletal pain.
