This book describes the Slouching Posture, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases

Generally people sit hunched, arms crossed in a judgmental way, the whole of the bodies pulled into a frown - Jeremy Hardy
The slouch (also called iHunch) is a term used to indicate a person when they sharply bend their neck over their tablet or phone.
This action pushes the head forward in an unnatural position and places a lot of pressure on the spine.
A slouching posture can cause a number of medical disorders throughout the body such as back and neck pain, difficulty breathing, poor digestion, nerve issues and more.
A slouching posture places stress on the joints and tissues, producing joint stiffness, weakened muscles, and inflammation.
For many people, this disorder does not appear that serious.
The moment the person starts to feel the neck pain, back pain, headaches, and major shoulder pain, the person will begin to understand how serious this disorder is.
A slouching posture on the other hand is the form of posture that happens from certain muscles tightening up or shortening while others lengthen and become weak.
When a person considers posture, that person considers models that have to train to walk with good posture by learning to walk confidently with a book placed on their head.

A slouching posture can also induce physical pain and emotional distress.
The slouching posture (also called "texting neck") has become an epidemic with everyone always bent down to look at their phones or tablets.
People spend on average more than 3.75 hours daily bent over their phones.
