摘要

背景/目的:尽管行走时使用智能手机的情况越来越普遍,但很少有研究对真实世界环境中的头颈姿势进行全面调查。本研究采用单盲观察法,对在台湾台北市公共场所行走的智能手机用户的头部和颈部运动进行研究,尤其关注性别和手部操作类型的影响。观察方法我们对 120 名智能手机用户(60 名男性和 60 名女性)进行了观察,记录了行走过程中颈部弯曲(NF)、头部弯曲(HF)、注视角度(GA)和矢状面上的注视距离(VD)。分析包括性别和智能手机手部操作(单手和双手使用)的四种组合。结果显示在 NF(p < 0.001)、GA(p < 0.01)和 VD(p < 0.01)方面发现了显著的性别差异,男性比女性表现出更大的 NF、GA 和 VD。性别间的高频相似,但男性的高频表明其头部前倾的姿势更明显,可能会增加颈部和肩部的负担。手部操作也会明显影响VD(p < 0.001)。大多数使用者的GA超过了60°,这可能是为了更好地观察行走路线而进行的不自主调整,可能会增加眼睛疲劳。结论以往的研究主要是模拟在跑步机或实验室等受控环境中行走时使用智能手机的情况。相比之下,我们的单盲实地研究强调了行走时使用智能手机所带来的实际风险,包括颈肩疲劳和眼睛疲劳,并观察到了性别之间的显著差异。

Gender Differences in Head and Neck Posture Among Smartphone Users While Walking: Insights from Field Observations in Taipei.

Background/Objectives: Despite the increasing prevalence of smartphone use while walking, few studies have comprehensively investigated head and neck posture in real-world settings. This study employed a single-blind observation of smartphone users walking in public areas of Taipei, Taiwan, to examine head and neck movements, with a particular focus on the effects of gender and hand-operation type. Methods: We conducted observations of 120 smartphone users (60 males and 60 females), recording neck flexion (NF), head flexion (HF), gaze angle (GA), and viewing distance (VD) in the sagittal plane during walking. The analysis included four combinations of gender and smartphone hand operation (one-handed and two-handed use). Results: Significant gender differences were found in NF (p < 0.001), GA (p < 0.01), and VD (p < 0.01), with males exhibiting greater NF, GA, and VD than females. HF was similar between genders, but males' larger NF suggested a more pronounced forward head posture, potentially increasing neck and shoulder strain. Hand operations also significantly affected VD (p < 0.001). Most users displayed a GA exceeding 60°, possibly an involuntary adjustment for better visibility of the walking path, potentially increasing eyestrain. Conclusions: Previous studies have primarily simulated smartphone use while walking in controlled environments, such as on treadmills or in laboratories. In contrast, our single-blind field study highlights the real-world risks associated with smartphone use during walking, including neck and shoulder strain and eyestrain, with notable differences observed between genders.
