Abstract

Now a days, smart phones are used not only for gaming, SMS/text messaging or cameras and communication or as location devices etc but also becoming key components of life due to its ability to promote educational, recreational and professional related activities through internet access or social media apps etc. Therefore, its importance can be beyond our thinkable imagination in today’s era. Data shows that almost 50% of smart phone users cannot “live without” their phone. It is appropriate to say that it is becoming just another type of addition gradually and quickly. It is contributing to a whole spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) but also leading to adverse psychological health issues like anxiety, stress, depression, headache and sleep disorders. This smart phone effect on physical and mental health can lead to serious consequences on academic and professional performance.
