The study conducted by the American surgeon Kenneth Hans raj on the forces that affect the spine when looking at smartphones for a long time has shown that the head of an adult who weighs between four to five kg affects the spine and neck with a force of about 13 kg When the head is tilted forward at an angle of about 15 degrees, indicating that the greater the degree of curvature, the greater the burden on the vertebrae and the greater the angle of inclination on the neck approximately 60 degrees, and thus affects the neck and back with a force of 27 kg
