Abstract: Aim of this study was to assess prevalence of static balance impairment in university student smartphone users with subclinical neck pain and identify the associated risk factors. Be-cause of rapid and widespread smartphones use, and the subsequent effect on neck pain in uni-versity students, it is essential to determine the prevalence of balance impairment and associated factors in this population. Simple random sampling was completed among eighty-one partici-pants in this cross-sectional study. A self-reported questionnaire, fitted precisely for smartphone users was used prior to clinical assessment by Balance Error Scoring System. Both simple and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the prevalence of static balance impairment and associated factors. Prevalence of static balance impairment in university student smartphone us-ers with subclinical neck pain was 74.07 %, (95% CI: 64.32 to 83.82). The significant risk factors were “daily smartphone use ≥ 4 hours’’ [AOR: 19.24 (95% CI 4.72 to 78.48) P =0.000], “≥ 4 years of smartphone use’’ [AOR: 5.01 (95% CI 1.12 to 22.38) P = 0.035], and “≥ 7 neck disability index score’’ [AOR: 12.91 (95% CI 2.24 to 74.45) P = 0.004]. There was a high prevalence of static bal-ance impairment in university smartphone users with subclinical neck pain. University student smartphone users with subclinical neck pain who were met at least one of risk factors should re-alize of their static balance impairment.
