Often struggling with a BlackBerry or other smartphone? We recommend that you begin to be careful! Several years ago, a study presented at the American Public Health Association showed that neck and shoulder pain are often associated with the use of students reported their cell phone. Nowadays, not only pain, but also damage a person's posture.
According to a report in the CBS This Morning, Dr. Alton Barron, an orthopedist from St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital said that the technology that we often use every day, without us knowing it has damaged the neck and back. Not only causes pain and pain in the part, but also damage a person's posture.
"We're going to pull the muscles of the neck, shoulders and upper back when we did this position (slightly bowed his head while pressing the keypad on the smartphone)." Dr. Alton Barron said. "And without us knowing, we often are in this position for a long time every day."
Weight of an adult human head on average 4.5 to 5.5 kg. A person's neck and shoulders are not designed to carry the weight of the head being bent in a long time. For every 2.5 cm condongan head downward as you bow your head, neck tension increased tenfold. Meanwhile, when his head 7.32 cm, the tension increased thirty-fold. It's the same with the added burden of 13.6 kg in the neck and for you.
So do not be surprised if all of a sudden muscle pain but does not do the 'heavy work'. The experts recommend that you stop struggling with a smartphone if it is feeling tired at the neck and shoulders. They also suggest that you hold the phone or a higher eye level so that the neck is not too tired to sustain a bowed head.
