Aim: To determine the effects of mobile phone use on fine motor functions, neck, and upper limb disability values.
Methods: Time duration of mobile phone use was recorded for a week. Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) was used to determine the risk level about posture while texting message on phones. Neck Disability Index (NDI) for neck pain and functional disability of neck on activities of daily life, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand-Function/Symptom (DASH-FS) for the limitation in the functions of upper limb, Jebson Taylor Hand Function test for fine motor function.
Results: Two hundred and seventy individuals (141 women, 129 men) whose mean ages were 21,48±1,86 years were included. While a significant correlation between duration of phone use and NDI score was specified (r=0,172; p=0,005), no significant correlation was found between duration of phone use and DASH-FS scores (r=0,092; p=0,130). It was found that there was a negative significant relationship between the duration of phone use and the total function score of the left hand and throwing small objects (p<0,01). According to RULA 95,6% of individuals have unacceptable phone usage postures, but no significant relationship was found between ergonomic risk level and NDI values, DASH-FS values, and hand functions (p>0,05).
Conclusion: Although increased duration of phone use could cause neck problems, manual ability may be positively affected. In addition, since most participants have a poor posture while using a mobile phone, it is thought that this may be a risk factor for more musculoskeletal problems in older ages.

Amaç: Cep telefonu kullanımının ince motor fonksiyonlar, boyun ve üst ekstremite özürlülük değerlerine etkisini belirlemektir.
Yöntem: Bir hafta boyunca cep telefonu kullanım süresi kaydedildi. Telefonlarda mesaj yazarken duruşla ilgili risk düzeyini belirlemek için Hızlı Üst Ekstremite Değerlendirmesi (RULA) kullanıldı. Boyun ağrısı ve boynun günlük yaşam aktiviteleri üzerindeki fonksiyonel bozukluğu için Boyun Engellilik İndeksi (NDI), üst ekstremite fonksiyonlarındaki sınırlama için Kol, Omuz ve El Fonksiyonu/Belirti (DASH-FS), ince motor fonksiyonlar için Jebsen Taylor El Fonksiyon Testi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya yaşları ortalama 21,48±1,86 yıl olan 270 birey (141 kadın, 129 erkek) dahil edildi. Telefon kullanım süresi ile NDI puanı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki belirlenirken (r=0,172; p=0,005), telefon kullanım süresi ile DASH-FS puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı (r=0,092; p=0,130). Telefon kullanım süresi ile sol elin toplam fonksiyon puanı ve küçük nesneleri fırlatma arasında negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu bulundu (p<0,01). RULA'ya göre bireylerin %95,6'sı kabul edilemez telefon kullanım duruşuna sahiptir ancak ergonomik risk düzeyi ile NDI değerleri, DASH-FS değerleri ve el fonksiyonları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Artan telefon kullanım süresi boyun problemlerine neden olabilse de el becerisi olumlu etkilenebilir. Ayrıca çoğu katılımcıda cep telefonu kullanırken kötü bir duruş saptandığından bu durumun ileri yaşlarda daha fazla kas-iskelet sistemi sorunları için bir risk faktörü olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
