MOBILE USE AND ITS ANATOMICAL IMPACT ON THE HAND AND FINGER-UNDERSTANDING THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS

Abstract

With the widespread adoption of mobile devices, concerns about their potential impact on human health have emerged. This study delves into the anatomical repercussions of mobile use on the hand and finger. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, it examines the potential problems associated with prolonged smartphone and tablet interaction, including musculoskeletal strain, repetitive stress injuries, and nerve compression. Understanding these issues is crucial for devising effective ergonomic guidelines and preventive strategies to promote healthy mobile device use and mitigate adverse anatomical effects.
