What is Head and Neck Injuries Associated With Cell Phone Use—Reply about?

Letters ## COMMENT & RESPONSE In Reply We thank Drs Bsisu and Bsisu for dedicating their time to comment on our recently published retrospective cross-sectional study. 1 Since publishing our article, we have had many informal inquiries regarding the issue of postural effects from cell phone use so we thank the authors for their informative letter. We fully agree that the nature of our study prevented us from assessing the postural effects of cell phone use and the presence of additional long-term neck pain. However, we would like to clarify that our mention of long-term complications was related to the injuries themselves rather than the cell phone use. We would also like to thank the authors for their assessment that a straight neck and supported forearms during cell phone use may decrease the strain placed on the neck and upper extremities. A similar assessment was made in an interesting study that we came across by Syamala et al. 2 The recommendation of this positioning has the additional benefit of encouraging individuals to use their cell phones when seated because this position is most easily attainable in the seated position. This, in turn, can reduce the use of cell phones
