Screen time is defined as the time spent on many electronic and technological devices such as laptops, tablets, televisions, game consoles, and smartphones. The largest portion of screen time is made up of smartphones, which are currently used at very high rates. The increase in screen time, which describes the time an individual spends in front of technological devices, can pave the way for various physical problems when not controlled. The most important of these problems caused by excessive screen use due to increased smartphone use is postural disorders. Based on this, the original value of this research is to examine and reveal the effects of smartphone use on balance and dual-task performance. Scientific data can be reached on the negative effects of increased screen use caused by smartphone use.
