智能手机是青少年中最受欢迎的设备之一。智能手机型号的进步，包括便携式媒体播放器、小型数码相机、访问电子邮件、GPS导航单元和高分辨率触摸屏，导致智能手机的频繁使用和成瘾（Kwon等人，2013）。随着智能手机使用的增加，肌肉骨骼问题的潜在风险已经被报道（Kang etal ., 2012; Kwon etal ., 2013）。大多数智能手机任务都需要用户盯着屏幕向下看，或者将手臂伸到前面阅读屏幕，这使得头部向前移动，导致下颈椎过度前弯，上胸椎过度后弯，以保持平衡，对颈椎和颈部肌肉施加压力（Berolo, Wells & Amick, 2011; Kang et al., 2012）。头部前倾是公认的矢状面不良体位之一。有研究表明，这种姿势可能导致颈背部疼痛综合征的发生和持续，并进一步丧失颈椎的伸展能力（Burgess‐Limerick, ploy & Ankrum, 1998; McEvoy & Grimmer, 2005）。头部向前的姿势是由日常生活因素的动态组合决定的，比如电脑的使用（Brink, low, Grimmer & Jordaan, 2014）。头颈部不正确的姿势与慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛有关（Lau，张，Chan, Lo & Chiu, 2010; Szeto, Straker & Raine, 2002）。本研究的目的是确定健康年轻成人智能手机成瘾水平及其与颈部功能的关系。
A smartphone is one of the most popular devices among adolescents. Advancement in smartphone models, including portable media players, compact digital cameras, access to emails, GPS navigation units and high‐resolution touch screens, contribute to the frequent use and addiction to smartphones (Kwon et al., 2013). Along with the rise in smartphone use, potential risks for musculoskeletal problems have been reported (Kang et al., 2012; Kwon et al., 2013). Most smartphone tasks require users to stare sharply downwards or to hold their arms out in front of them to read the screen, which makes the head move forward and causes an excessive anterior curve in the lower cervical vertebrae and an excessive posterior curve in the upper thoracic vertebrae to maintain balance, placing stresses on the cervical spine and neck muscles (Berolo, Wells & Amick, 2011; Kang et al., 2012). Forward head posture is one of the commonly recognized poor postures in the sagittal plane. It has been indicated that this posture might contribute to the onset and perpetuation of neck and back pain syndromes, with further loss of cervical spine extension (Burgess‐Limerick, Plooy & Ankrum, 1998; McEvoy & Grimmer, 2005). Forward head posture is determined by a dynamic combination of daily life factors, such as computer use (Brink, Louw, Grimmer & Jordaan, 2014). Incorrect posture of the head and neck has been correlated with chronic musculoskeletal pain (Lau, Cheung, Chan, Lo & Chiu, 2010; Szeto, Straker & Raine, 2002). The aim of the present study was to determine the level of smartphone addiction and its relationship with neck function in healthy young adult subjects.
