Mobile phones, PCs and tablets have now become indispensable items for everyone, from the largest age groups to more or less adolescent groups. If we happen to leave the house without a cell phone, we feel almost stripped of an essential part of us. Not owning a mobile phone, tablet or PC is now really impossible. With them now you really do everything, from work to shopping, to even become a small portable TV.
In short, to tell the truth, in many respects it has improved life, shortened distances and for many it defeats loneliness. But as in all things, the negative aspects of these objects, which have now become necessary goods, are not long in coming. The continuous and sometimes disproportionate use of PCs, tablets or smartphones can also cause some problems.
Think for example of the so-called mouse sore, a disease also recognized by INAIL.
It seems incredible but this gesture repeated on the cell phone endangers health
Even the frequent use of the smartphone can lead to small problems that in the long run could negatively affect the quality of life. In fact, prolonged and frequent use of the mobile phone can cause inflammation of the thumb, which can cause pain and make daily gestures difficult. In particular, the large size of the smartphone with prolonged use of even many hours can cause cramping pains in the fingers, wrist and forearm.
It seems incredible but this gesture repeated on the cell phone endangers health. That is, the continuous holding it in your hand and typing messages or scrolling continuously with your thumb can create annoying and serious problems. In recent years, in fact, already known diseases have been baptized with a new name, such as that of trigger finger, also defined as Blackberrry thumb. Or the carpal tunnel now known as mouse ache.
What does trigger finger mean?
The trigger finger (or stenosing tenosynovitis) affects the pulleys and tendons of the hand, which are essential for the movement of the fingers. In particular in the fingers the pulleys form fibrous tunnels where the tendons slide, facilitated by the relative sheaths. These hold the tendons close to the bones in order to achieve flexion of the fingers. When a bulge forms in the tendon sheath, the tendon is squeezed causing pain and a snapping sensation in the corresponding finger. The finger may also sometimes get stuck and cause pain when straightening it, negatively affecting the quality of life. In fact, due to the poor mobility of the finger, difficulties can be encountered in carrying out daily actions.
Therefore, to reduce the consequences of prolonged use, you could start by writing short messages or using the voice function. We could use both hands and take small breaks from time to time.
