| Abstract: | The increasing dependence on smartphones and handheld digital devices has led to the emergence of technology-related musculoskeletal disorders, notably Text Neck Syndrome (TNS). TNS is a repetitive stress injury caused by prolonged forward head posture during device use, resulting in excessive biomechanical load on the cervical spine. To highlight the etiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, prevention, and management of Text Neck Syndrome as an emerging musculoskeletal disorder in the digital era. This descriptive review is based on existing literature, surveys, and clinical observations related to handheld device usage and its impact on cervical spine biomechanics and musculoskeletal health. Evidence suggests a high prevalence of TNS among adolescents and young adults, particularly those with screen time exceeding four hours daily. Forward head flexion increases cervical spine load from approximately 10–12 pounds in a neutral position to nearly 60 pounds at 60 degrees of flexion. This sustained stress leads to muscle imbalance, postural alterations, cervical disc degeneration, nerve compression, and chronic pain. Common symptoms include neck and shoulder pain, headaches, stiffness, and upper limb paresthesia. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, supported by postural assessment and imaging when necessary. Text Neck Syndrome is a growing public health concern linked to modern digital lifestyles. Early recognition, ergonomic interventions, posture correction, regular breaks, and therapeutic exercises are essential for prevention and effective management. |
