Resumo: | Introduction: The smartphone, a popular mobile device, has become attractive because it is easy to use and due to it multifunctionality. Its prolonged use, with anterior flexion of the neck and repetitive movements of the upper limbs, contributes to musculoskeletal symptoms. Objective: To evaluate changes in cervical posture due to smartphone use in adults, as well as verify the association of posture with health-related factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study, carried out at two universities in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil, between 2018 and 2019. A total of 769 adults (>18 years old) who routinely used smartphones participated. Data on socioeconomic variables, health conditions and smartphone use were collected. The cervical postural alignment was assessed, with the vertical head alignment (VHA) being measured using photogrammetry, in the anatomical position (baseline) and while typing on the smartphone. Results: The mean age was 23 years (± 6.7), with a higher proportion of females (72.1%; n = 559) and an average of 7.9h (± 4.4) using the device. Smartphone use led to the forward head movement related to males (p < 0.05 by ΔVHA), time spent using the device (p < 0.05 by ΔVHA), functional disability in the cervical region (p < 0.05 by ΔVHA) and not sleeping well (p = 0.019 by ΔVHA on the R side). Conclusion: Using a smartphone in the typing position causes the head to tilt forward, being related to longer usage time, male gender, cervical region dysfunction and sleep. |

Seu uso prolongado, com flexão anterior do pescoço e movimentos repetitivos dos membros superiores, contribui para sintomas musculoesqueléticos. Objetivo: Avaliar as alterações da postura cervical pelo uso do smartphone em adultos, bem como verificar a associação da postura com fatores relacionados à saúde. Métodos: Estudo transversal, em duas universidades em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil, entre 2018 e 2019. Participaram 769 adultos (>18 anos) que usavam rotineiramente o smartphone. Foram coletadas variáveis socioeconômicas, condições de saúde e uso do smartphone. Realizou-se a avaliação do alinhamento postural da cervical, sendo mensurado o alinhamento vertical da cabeça (AVC) pela fotogrametria, na posição anatômica (baseline) e digitando no smartphone. Resultados: A idade média foi de 23 anos (± 6,7), com maior proporção do sexo feminino (72,1 %; n = 559) e média de 7,9h (± 4,4) utilizando o dispositivo. O uso do smartphone gerou anteriorização de cabeça relacionada ao sexo masculino (p < 0,05 pelo ΔAVC), tempo de uso do dispositivo (p < 0,05 pela ΔAVC), incapacidade funcional na região cervical (p < 0,05 pela ΔAVC) e não dormir bem (p = 0,019 pela ΔAVC lado D). Conclusão: O uso do smartphone na posição de digitação causa anteriorização de cabeça, estando relacionado ao maior tempo de uso, ao sexo masculino, à disfunção da região cervical e ao sono.Editora PUCPRESS2024-04-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/3133710.1590/fm.2024.37115Fisioterapia em Movimento (Physical Therapy in Movement); Vol. 37 (2024): n. cont.Fisioterapia em Movimento; v. 37 (2024): n. cont.1980-5918reponame:Fisioterapia em Movimentoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)instacron:PUC_PRengporhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/31337/26594https://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/31337/26595Copyright (c) 2024 PUCPRESSinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Fontenele, Ticiana Mesquita de OliveiraRabelo, Lorena Karen Silva Magalhães Medeiros, Nylla Kettilla Freitas Diógenesde Sousa, Natália Roque Maia Mont’Alverne, Daniela Gardano BucharlesAbdon, Ana Paula Vasconcellos2024-04-22T19:16:53Zoai:ojs.periodicos.pucpr.br:article/31337Revistahttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisioPRIhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/oairubia.farias@pucpr.br||revista.fisioterapia@pucpr.br1980-59180103-5150opendoar:2024-04-22T19:16:53Fisioterapia em Movimento - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)false |
