Smartphone Addiction and Upper Extremity Sensorimotor Performance

Sponsor: Amasya University

Summary

The use of digital devices among young people is increasing day by day. This usage habit can lead to postural disorders. Prolonged maintenance of a static posture can negatively affect sensorimotor functions-such as sensory input, proprioception, hand-eye coordination, and upper extremity performance. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between smartphone addiction and shoulder proprioception, hand-eye coordination, and upper extremity performance in young people with smartphone addiction. Smartphone addiction will be assessed using the "Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form," shoulder proprioception with a universal goniometer, hand-eye coordination with the alternate wall-toss test, and upper extremity performance with the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability test; the relationships between these parameters and smartphone addiction will then be analyzed. The study results will identify the factors that may be affected by smartphone addiction.
