ÖZ
Amaç
Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinde akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ile seçilmiş üst ekstremite ve servikal kasların viskoelastik özellikleri (tonus, sertlik, elastikiyet) ve hareket temelli reaksiyon süresi arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir.
Yöntem
Bu kesitsel çalışmaya 216 üniversite öğrencisi dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcılar, Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği-Kısa Formu kullanılarak (kesme puanı erkek için ≥31, kadın için ≥33) bağımlı ve bağımlı olmayan gruplara ayrılmıştır. Kas viskoelastik özellikleri MyotonPRO cihazı kullanılarak değerlendirilmiş, hareket temelli reaksiyon süresi ise SWAY uygulaması aracılığıyla değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Kasların viskoelastik özellikleri, ekran süresi ve SWAY ortalama puanları arasında çoğunlukla düşük düzeyde ancak istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif yönde korelasyon bulundu. Fleksör karpi ulnaris ve ekstansör karpi radialis kaslarının bazı parametreleri ile SWAY ortalama puanı hem de günlük ekran süresi arasında orta düzeyde korelasyonlar gözlendi.
Sonuç: Akıllı telefon bağımlılığı, seçilmiş kasların viskoelastik özelliklerindeki değişikliklerle ilişkili bulunurken, hareket temelli reaksiyon süresi ile yalnızca zayıf düzeyde ilişkiler gözlendi. Bu bulgular, aşırı akıllı telefon kullanımının klinik olarak belirgin bozukluklardan ziyade minimal nöromüsküler adaptasyonlarla ilişkili olabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
Anahtar Kelimeler:
