| Abstract | The majority of smartphone users tend to tilt heads forward to focus on screens which involves a combination ofmuscles tension and weakening leading to muscle performance reduction. This study aimed to compare the effects of selfexercise three times-per-week for six weeks combined with received knowledge in experiment and control received knowledgeonly were assessed craniovertical angle-CVA, head-tilt angle-HTA and shoulder angle-SHA by kinovea program, neck strengthwith hand-held dynamometer, neck endurance by holding time, flexibility by pectoralis-minor and lattisimus-dorsi length andneck pain with NDI. Forty-six participants that had CVA less than 45? and pectoralis-minor length greater than 6 cm. thenrandom assignment to each group (n=23). All outcomes analyzed by independent t-test (parametric) and Mann-Whitney u-test(non-parametric). CVA, neck flexion-extension strength and neck flexion endurance of experiment increased and left-pectoralisminor length reduced more than control with statistically significant differences. Self-exercise improved CVA, neck flexionextension strength, flexion endurance, and flexibility. |
