Akıllı Telefon Kullanımının El Ağrısı ve Kas Kuvveti Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı akıllı telefon kullanım süresinin el kavrama kuvveti ve baş parmak kas gücü üzerine etkisini tanımlamaktır. Materyal ve method: El kavrama kuvveti için el dinamometresinden ve başparmak fleksiyon kas kuvveti için manuel kas testi cihazından ölçümler alındı. Sağ ve sol el kavrama kuvveti, başparmak kas kuvveti ortalamaları ölçüldü. Bulgular: Cinsiyetler arasında boy ve kilo ölçümlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0.05). Akıllı telefon kullanım süresi arttıkça el gücünün arttığı görüldü. Ancak sağ ve sol tarafta başparmak fleksiyon kas kuvvetinin en yüksek değeri 8 saatin üzerindeydi. Cinsiyet ile kas gücü ölçümleri arasında yüksek bir ilişki bulundu (p<0.05; r=0.700). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, akıllı telefon kullanım süresinin el kavrama kuvveti ve başparmak kas kuvveti üzerinde etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.

The Effect of Mobile Phone on Hand Pain and Muscle Strength

Abstract

Background: Aim of the study determine the duration of mobile phone use on handgrip strength and thumb flexion muscle strength. Materials and method: The measurements were taken from hand dynamometer for handgrip strength and manual muscle tester for thumb flexion muscle strength. The means of the right and left handgrip strength, thumb flexion muscle strength were measured. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in height and weight measurements between genders (p<0.05). We found as using of mobile phone increased, hand strength increased. However, the highest value of thumb muscle strength on the right and left sides was observed to be over 8 hours. There was a high relation between gender and muscle strength measurements (p<0.05; r=0.700). Conclusion: This study revealed that the duration of mobile phone use has an effect on grip and thumb flexion muscle strength.
