Abstract

Background: The hand is the most frequently used part of the body during daily life activities. Any musculoskeletal problem that may occur in the hand can lead to loss of function.

Objective: This study examined the relationship between the wrist and elbow position adapted during smartphone use, pain and discomfort, smartphone addiction, and hand function.

Methods: Pain and discomfort were evaluated with the visual analog scale, wrist and elbow angle during phone use were evaluated with a universal goniometer, smartphone addiction was evaluated with the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, and functional status of the hand was evaluated with the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire.

Results: A total of 120 university students (female: n= 60), with an average age of 22.71 ± 2.7 years, were included in this cross-sectional study. A relationship was found between the angle of the wrist and elbow during smartphone use and pain/discomfort (r= 0.692, p= 0.001), smartphone addiction (r= 0.575, p= 0.001), and hand function parameters (r= 0.20-0.55, p⩽ 0.05).

Conclusion: Due to the increased use of smartphones in today's environment, a preventive program should be developed in which texting for extended periods is avoided, along with frequent breaks to rest the hands, and stretching exercises for the upper extremities during rest.

智能手机使用姿势、疼痛、智能手机成瘾和手部功能之间的关系。

背景介绍手是日常生活中最常用的部位。手部可能出现的任何肌肉骨骼问题都会导致功能丧失：本研究探讨了使用智能手机时手腕和肘部位置的调整、疼痛和不适感、智能手机成瘾以及手部功能之间的关系：用视觉模拟量表评估疼痛和不适感，用通用角度计评估使用手机时手腕和肘部的角度，用智能手机成瘾量表-简版评估智能手机成瘾，用密歇根手部结果问卷评估手部功能状况：这项横断面研究共纳入了 120 名大学生（女生：60 人），平均年龄（22.71±2.7）岁。研究发现，使用智能手机时手腕和肘部的角度与疼痛/不适（r= 0.692，p= 0.001）、智能手机成瘾（r= 0.575，p= 0.001）和手部功能参数（r= 0.20-0.55，p⩽ 0.05）之间存在关系：由于当今环境中智能手机的使用越来越多，因此应制定一项预防计划，避免长时间发短信，同时经常休息，让手部得到休息，并在休息时进行上肢伸展运动。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present relevant information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints. It will provide readers with both 1) a general fund of knowledge on the assessment and management of specific problems and 2) new information considered to be state-of-the-art in the field. The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty. In each issue clinicians can find information which they can use in their patient setting the very next day.
