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

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Pre-sleep screen exposure assessment: Pre-sleep screen exposure is evaluated using smartphone-based self-reported queries on duration and usage characteristics

Study summary

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.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Posture Analysis — Single assessment at baseline
  Evaluation of body alignment including head position, shoulder alignment, spinal curvature, pelvic position, knee alignment, and foot posture from anterior, posterior, and lateral views.
