While using their smartphone, users tend to adopt awkward neck and shoulder postures for an extended duration. Such postures impose the risk of MSDs on those body parts. Numerous studies have been undertaken to examine neck posture; however, few studies have investigated shoulder postures. This study examined various shoulder postures during smartphone use and their effect on neck and shoulder kinematics, muscle loading, and neck/shoulder discomfort. Thirty-two asymptomatic young adult smartphone users randomly performed texting tasks for 3 min at four different shoulder flexion angles (15°, 30°, 45°, and 60°), while maintained a neck posture in the neutral position (0° neck flexion angle). Measures were taken of neck and shoulder muscle activity of the cervical erector spinae (CES), anterior deltoid (AD), upper trapezius (UT) and lower trapezius (LT), and kinematic data (angle, distance and gravitational moment). Results showed AD and LT muscle activity significantly increased when the shoulder flexion angle increased with an opposite effect on CES and UT. A recommended shoulder posture was identified as 30° flexion, as this yielded the best compromise between activation levels of the four muscles studied. This angle also induced the lowest neck/shoulder discomfort score. The findings suggest smartphone users hold their device at approximately 30° shoulder flexion angle with their neck in a neutral posture to reduce the risk of shoulder and neck musculoskeletal disorders when smartphone texting.

Relevance to industry

Smartphone use in the manufacturing and service industries is an integral part of work and useful means of communication tool. Awkward postures during extensive smartphone use impose an increased risk of both neck and shoulder musculoskeletal disorders. Shoulder flexion angles need consideration when making recommendations about safe work postures during smartphone use.

使用智能手机时肩部姿势对颈部和肩部肌肉骨骼负荷和不适的影响

在使用智能手机时,用户倾向于长时间采用尴尬的颈部和肩部姿势。这种姿势会给这些身体部位带来 MSD 的风险。已经进行了许多研究来检查颈部姿势。然而,很少有研究调查肩部姿势。这项研究检查了智能手机使用期间的各种肩部姿势及其对颈部和肩部运动学、肌肉负荷和颈部/肩部不适的影响。32 名无症状的年轻成年智能手机用户以四种不同的肩关节屈曲角度(15°、30°、45° 和 60°)随机执行 3 分钟的短信任务,同时保持颈部姿势中立(0° 颈部屈曲)角度)。测量颈椎竖脊肌 (CES)、三角肌前束 (AD) 的颈部和肩部肌肉活动 上斜方肌 (UT) 和下斜方肌 (LT),以及运动学数据(角度、距离和重力矩)。结果表明,当肩关节屈曲角度增加时,AD 和 LT 肌肉活动显着增加,对 CES 和 UT 产生相反的影响。推荐的肩部姿势被确定为 30° 屈曲,因为这在所研究的四块肌肉的激活水平之间产生了最佳折衷。这个角度也导致最低的颈部/肩部不适评分。研究结果表明,智能手机用户将他们的设备保持在大约 30° 的肩部屈曲角度,让他们的脖子保持中立姿势,以降低智能手机发短信时肩颈肌肉骨骼疾病的风险。结果表明,当肩关节屈曲角度增加时,AD 和 LT 肌肉活动显着增加,对 CES 和 UT 产生相反的影响。推荐的肩部姿势被确定为 30° 屈曲,因为这在所研究的四块肌肉的激活水平之间产生了最佳折衷。这个角度也导致最低的颈部/肩部不适评分。研究结果表明,智能手机用户将他们的设备保持在大约 30° 的肩部屈曲角度,让他们的脖子保持中立姿势,以降低智能手机发短信时肩颈肌肉骨骼疾病的风险。结果表明,当肩关节屈曲角度增加时,AD 和 LT 肌肉活动显着增加,对 CES 和 UT 产生相反的影响。推荐的肩部姿势被确定为 30° 屈曲,因为这在所研究的四块肌肉的激活水平之间产生了最佳折衷。这个角度也导致最低的颈部/肩部不适评分。研究结果表明,智能手机用户将他们的设备保持在大约 30° 的肩部屈曲角度,让他们的脖子保持中立姿势,以降低智能手机发短信时肩颈肌肉骨骼疾病的风险。这个角度也导致最低的颈部/肩部不适评分。研究结果表明,智能手机用户将他们的设备保持在大约 30° 的肩部屈曲角度,让他们的脖子保持中立姿势,以降低智能手机发短信时肩颈肌肉骨骼疾病的风险。这个角度也导致最低的颈部/肩部不适评分。研究结果表明,智能手机用户将他们的设备保持在大约 30° 的肩部屈曲角度,让他们的脖子保持中立姿势,以降低智能手机发短信时肩颈肌肉骨骼疾病的风险。

与行业的相关性

智能手机在制造业和服务业中的使用是工作不可或缺的一部分,也是有用的通讯工具。大量使用智能手机期间的尴尬姿势会增加颈部和肩部肌肉骨骼疾病的风险。在提出有关使用智能手机期间安全工作姿势的建议时,需要考虑肩部弯曲角度。
