Texting on that little gadget in your palm while walking could cause you back problems.

Yes, in a study released last week, researchers warn that texting on a mobile phone while walking alters posture and balance and leads to back problems.

And that habit is a public health concern among mobile-savvy population.

The research by the University of Queensland could affect the lifestyles of some of million mobile subscribers, who are fond of texting on the move.

The study by Dr Siobhan Schabrun and her colleagues warns that texting or reading on a mobile may also compromise the safety of pedestrians navigating obstacles or crossing the road.
