TLDR
Changes in Craniocervical and Trunk Flexion Angles and Gluteal Pressure during VDT Work with Continuous Cross‐legged Sitting are studied.Abstract:
Objectives: This study investigated changes in craniocervical and trunk flexion angles and gluteal pressure on both sides during visual display terminal (VDT) work with continuous cross-legged sitting. Methods: The gluteal pressures of ten VDT workers, who were recruited from laboratories, were measured using a Teckscan system and videotaped using a single video camera to capture the craniocervical and trunk flexion angles during VDT work at 30 s, 10, 20 and 30 min. Results: The craniocervical angle was significantly increased at 10 and 20 min compared with the initial angle (p<0.05). The trunk flexion angle was significantly decreased at 30 s, 10, 20 and 30 min (p<0.05). The gluteal pressure of the crossed-leg side significantly increased at 30 s, 10 and 20 min (p<0.05). The gluteal pressure of the uncrossed-leg side significantly decreased at 30 s (p<0.05). Conclusion: We found that cross-legged sitting during VDT work may exert disadvantageous postural effects resulting from craniocervical and trunk flexion angles and gluteal pressure. Therefore, this posture could not be recommended during long-term VDT work.read more

Influence of the Duration of Smartphone Usage on Flexion Angles of the Cervical and Lumbar Spine and on Reposition Error in the Cervical Spine
TL;DR: It is suggested that prolonged use of smartphones can induce changes in cervical and lumbar spine posture and proprioception in the cervical spine.

The effects of smart phone gaming duration on muscle activation and spinal posture: Pilot study
TL;DR: Smartphone use induced more flexed posture on the neck and trunk than other visual display terminal (VDT) work and clinicians should consider the influences of smartphone use in posture and muscle activity in evaluation, intervention, and prevention of neck and tree conditions.

Mechanical stability of the in vivo lumbar spine: implications for injury and chronic low back pain
TL;DR: It appears that there is an ample stability safety margin during tasks that demand a high muscular effort, however, lighter tasks present a potential hazard of spine buckling, especially if some reduction in passive joint stiffness is present.

TL;DR: Sitting at work for more than 95% of the working time seems to be a risk factor for neck pain and there is a trend for a positive relation between neck flexion and neck pain.
