Study of the Clinical Manifestations of the "Text Neck" Syndrome in Children Playing Chess

Abstract

The article presents the results of studying the clinical manifestations of text neck syndrome in children playing chess. The study found that chess training on electronic devices has a pronounced stressful effect on the musculoskeletal system with the subsequent development of pain syndromes, disorders of the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal apparatus. Prolonged chess play leads not only to a change in the angle of inclination of the head and neck flexion, but also the thoracic angle, which is confirmed by a frequent combination of pain in the neck and thoracic region. The methodology used by us will contribute to the development of a program and system for the prevention and correction of deviations of the musculoskeletal system.
