This study examines the impact of smartphone dependency on cervical posture among adolescents in Belagavi, India. It aims to determine the prevalence of dependency using the TMD questionnaire and evaluate its effects on craniovertebral angle (CVA) using tools like the APECS app. The cross-sectional study targets adolescents aged 14-17 years, focusing on the physical health risks of excessive smartphone use, such as poor posture and musculoskeletal discomfort. The findings aim to raise awareness and propose preventive measures to promote healthier smartphone habits.
