Background: Mobile phone users are increasing drastically nowadays. Teenagers are addicted to the mobile phone usage and they became neediest items in modern human life. Activation of uppertrapezius muscle is more during mobile phone use due to flexed posture of the neck. Overuse of mobile phones leads to muscle fatigue, a motor deficit resulting in pain and other musculoskeletal problems. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of stretching and strengthening exercises on upper trapezius muscle fatigue in mobile phone users and comparing both. Methodology: Study design is quasi experimental and study type is comparative study. 30 samples were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into two groups Group-A and Group-B. Group-A was given stretching exercises and Group-B was given stabilization exercises. Electromyography is used as an outcome measure to quantify the upper trapezius muscle fatigue. Results: Stretching and stabilization exercises are effective in reducing upper trapezius muscle fatigue but on comparing both stabilization exercises are more effective on upper trapezius muscle fatigue in mobile phone users. Conclusion: From this study, it is concluded that stabilization exercises were found to be effective in declining upper trapezius muscle fatigue in mobile phone users than the stretchingexercises.
