Time Need to Detect Mobile Phone Use to Prevent Muscle Fatigue

• Conditions: Mobile Phone Use

• Registration Number: NCT04641208
• Lead Sponsor: MTI University

Brief Summary

Using a smart phone while adopting a poor posture can cause various physical problems. The neck and shoulders are particularly vulnerable to pain due to smart phone use, with the muscles showing a high level of muscle fatigue, resulting in exhaustion and pain, Therefore, determining the durable time to use the smart phone will protect us from abnormal posture and protect our muscle and ligaments.

Furthermore avoid the incorrect position of use smartphone position.

Detailed Description

-Purpose of the study:

To investigate the electrical muscle activity during used mobile phone

-Back ground :

Using a smart phone while adopting a poor posture can cause various physical problems. The neck and shoulders are particularly vulnerable to pain due to smart phone use, with the muscles showing a high level of muscle fatigue, resulting in exhaustion and pain, Therefore, determining the durable time to use the smart phone will protect us from abnormal posture and protect our muscle and ligaments.

Furthermore avoid the incorrect position of use smartphone position.

-Hypotheses:

There are no statistical significant relation between time of used smart phone and muscle fatigue.

-Subjects:

One hundred fifty healthy children of both genders will participate in this study.
