Abstract

Time spend using smartphones is constantly increasing. Portability leads to postures that expose them to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The aim was to study the effect of time of day (morning, afternoon, evening and night) on university students' postures when using their smartphones over the weekend and their link with MSD risk. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 277 university students (25.3% female, 74.7% male, 17-24 years). SmarTaxo with 41 postures (sitting, standing, lying, walking) and their relative RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) scores were considered. The overall distribution of postures was: 36.22% sitting, 17.53% standing, 37.67% lying down and 8.57% walking. Six lying and one standing posture observed in the evening and at night are at high MSD risk (RULA score = 6, 23% of total time). The survey highlighted that university students are exposed to MSDs during the weekend day due to awkward postures, especially when lying down at night.

白天对周末大学生智能手机使用姿势和相关肌肉骨骼疾病风险的影响。

使用智能手机的时间在不断增加。便携性导致他们的姿势暴露于肌肉骨骼疾病（MSDs）。研究的目的是研究一天中的时间（早上、下午、晚上和晚上）对大学生在周末使用智能手机时姿势的影响，以及它们与MSD风险的关系。采用横断面调查方法对277名17-24岁的大学生进行调查，其中女生25.3%，男生74.7%。考虑SmarTaxo的41种姿势（坐、站、躺、走）及其相对的RULA（快速上肢评估）得分。总体体位分布为：坐36.22%，站17.53%，躺37.67%，走8.57%。在晚上和晚上观察到的6种躺姿和1种站立姿具有较高的MSD风险（RULA评分= 6,23 %）。该调查强调，大学生在周末因姿势尴尬而暴露于msd，尤其是在晚上躺着的时候。

期刊介绍： Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
