Investigation of the Effect of Screen Time Before Sleep on Posture Disorders and Dynamic Balance

Starting soon

Conditions studied: Postural Disorders, Balance Problems

In brief

The widespread use of electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops has significantly increased screen exposure, especially before sleep. Prolonged screen use may contribute to poor posture by promoting forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and other musculoskeletal problems. In addition, screen exposure before sleep may negatively affect sleep quality and neuromuscular performance, which may in turn influence postural control and balance.
