Biomechanical Impact of Text Neck Syndrome on Cervical Spine and Upper Quarter Musculoskeletal System
Abstract: Text Neck Syndrome (TNS) has emerged as a modern musculoskeletal disorder associated with prolonged use of handheld digital devices, resulting in sustained cervical flexion and altered spinal biomechanics. This article explores the biomechanical consequences of TNS on the cervical spine and upper quarter musculoskeletal system, including muscular imbalance, altered load distribution, ligamentous strain, and degenerative changes. Increased cervical flexion significantly elevates compressive forces on intervertebral discs and facet joints, disrupting …

Yoga and Neural Health: Enhancing Brain Function Through Postural Alignment
Abstract: Correct posture significantly influences neural function and brain health by ensuring optimal alignment of the spine and nervous system. Poor posture disrupts neural communication, impairs blood flow, and affects cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation, leading to adverse effects on cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and overall brain health. This study examines the physiological connection between posture and neural health, emphasizing its impact on cognitive function, mood, and neuroplasticity. Using a mixed-methods approach, …
