Official title
EFFECT OF SMART PHONE ADDICTION ON ELBOW JOINT PREFORMANCE AMONG ADULTS
Overview
smart phone addiction negatively impacted the pain in the muscles of the neck, shoulder, elbow, and the hand. the negative impact of prolonged smartphone use has shown an association between smartphone addiction and musculoskeletal pain in different areas of the body. Caution should be taken towards the safe implementation of smartphone use. The combination of repetitive movements, poor posture, and over-use of mobile phones for texting or playing games, without taking rest breaks, can cause injury to the nerves, muscles, and tendons in the fingers, hands, wrists, arms, elbows, shoulders, and neck, which if ignored, may lead to long-term damage. Staying stationary for hours with the same hand and elbow movements while using mobile phones not only disrupts the posture of the individual but also causes inefficiency at work. Thus, their prolonged use significantly affects the quality of life as well as the activities of daily life of the individual .No previous study has investigated the link between smartphone addiction and elbow joint performance, to the authors' knowledge. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study will be to determine the relationship between smartphone addiction and elbow joint performance.
