Brief Summary:
Smartphones and tablets are increasingly widespread mobile technological devices used for many purposes such as communication transportation entertainment education and security Increasing use of mobile technology leads to various symptoms such as insomnia difficulty concentrating and anxiety especially musculoskeletal problems Text neck is a musculoskeletal problem seen in individuals who use smartphones and tablets for a long time due to increased head and neck flexion posture It causes neck back shoulder and head pain insomnia tingling and numbness in the hands Implementation of exercise programs for both preventive and therapeutic purposes is one of the main goals in this picture dominated by posture and pain problems Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation PNF treatment technique In the 1940s by H Kabat and M Knott PNF was expressed as a means of facilitating neuromuscular responses by stimulation of proprioceptors It is stated that it increases joint stabilization strength normal range of motion endurance and circulation and is effective in improving coordination Although PNF techniques have been used for different spinal problems there is no study investigating PNF techniques in text neck syndrome The study was aimed to compare the effect of a method including muscle relaxation in the anterior elevation direction and repetition techniques in the posterior depression direction from PNF neck patterns on pain intensity neck normal range of motion neck muscle endurance posture and functionality in individuals with text neck syndrome with another method including ergonomic adjustments and simple cervical exercises recommended in the literature to be included in standard treatment
