Abstract

Background: Smartphone addiction has increased excessively among university students. Musculoskeletal disorders, faulty posture and disturbance of postural control were linked to smartphone use. Aim of Study: The aim of this study was to identify the effect of smartphone addiction on dynamic balance control among physical therapy (PT) students. Material and Methods: Forty healthy PT students were assigned into two equal groups (group A: Non-smartphone addicted, group B: Smartphone-addicted) based on their score from the Arabic version of smartphone addiction scale-short version (SAS-SV). All students were assessed for dynamic balance by using the Biodex balance system (BBS). The overall stability index (OSI), medial-lateral stability index (MLSI) and anterior-posterior stability index (APSI) were measured by the device. Results: There were a significant increase in all dynamic balance indices ( p =0.001) of the smartphone addicted group compared to that of the non-smartphone addicted group. Conclusion: Smartphone addiction can cause disturbance of dynamic balance control among PT students.

智能手机成瘾对物理治疗学生动态平衡控制的影响

背景:智能手机成瘾在大学生中过度增加。肌肉骨骼疾病、错误的姿势和姿势控制障碍与使用智能手机有关。研究目的:本研究旨在探讨智能手机成瘾对物理治疗学生动态平衡控制的影响。材料与方法:40名健康PT学生根据阿拉伯语版智能手机成瘾量表-短版(SAS-SV)得分分为两组(A组:非智能手机成瘾，B组:智能手机成瘾)。采用生物指数平衡系统(BBS)对所有学生进行动态平衡评估。测量整体稳定性指数(OSI)、中外侧稳定性指数(MLSI)和前后稳定性指数(APSI)。结果:与非智能手机成瘾组相比，智能手机成瘾组的各项动态平衡指标均显著升高(p =0.001)。结论:智能手机成瘾可引起体育学生动态平衡控制障碍。
