Abstract

Objective: The use of technological devices for more than a certain number of hours in daily life causes some anatomical changes in the human body. The aim of this study was to determine the changes that may occur in the range of motion in the wrist depending on the duration of computer use and to perform examinations on the wrist. Material and Method: In the study conducted on university students, a questionnaire was used to obtain demographic information, a tape measure, a manual muscle test, and a universal goniometer with a sensitivity of 1 degree, and measurements were made with 198 volunteer participants. The data and analysis of the study were performed and evaluated with SPSS (Statistical Program in Social Sciences) 25 program. Results: In this study conducted on university students, an increase in radial and ulnar deviation degrees due to computer use was found (p<0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the groups (those who used computers for less than 3 hours and more than 3 hours) according to the E-sports (E: Electronic) status of the participants (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups (those who used computers for less than 3 hours and more than 3 hours) in wrist circumference measurement (p>0.05). Conclusion: We believe that knowing the radial and ulnar goniometric angles of the wrist will guide clinicians in wrist fractures and wrist analysis.

Özet

Amaç: Günlük hayatta belirli bir saatten fazla teknolojik cihaz kullanımı insan vücudunda bazı anatomik değişikliklere neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı bilgisayar kullanım süresine bağlı olarak el bileğindeki hareket açıklığında oluşabilecek değişiklikleri belirlemek ve el bileğinde incelemeler yapmaktır. Materyal Metod: Üniversite öğrencileri üzerinde yapılan çalışmada 198 gönüllü katılımcı ile yapılan çalışmada demografik bilgilerin alındığı anket, mezura, manuel kas testi ve 1 derece hassasiyette universal gonyometre kullanılarak ölçümler yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri ve analizleri SPSS (Statistical Program in Social Sciences) 25 programı ile gerçekleştirilmiş ve değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Üniversite öğrencileri üzerinde yapılan bu çalışmada bilgisayar kullanımına bağlı radial ve ulnar deviasyon derecelerinde artış saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Çalışmaya alınan katılımcıların E-spor (E: Elektronik) durumuna göre gruplar (3 saatten az ve daha uzun süre bilgisayar kullananlar) arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0.05). Bilek çevresi ölçümünde gruplar (3 saatten az ve daha uzun süre bilgisayar kullananlar) arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunamadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: El bileğinin radial ve ulnar gonyometrik açılarının bilinmesinin bilek kırıklarında ve el bileği analizinde klinisyenlere yol gösterici olacağına inanıyoruz.
