The use of electronic devices has been linked to musculoskeletal impairments in adolescents and young adults, according to a new study. The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of Sydney, examined the effects of electronic device usage on the musculoskeletal system in adolescents and young adults. The study found that prolonged use of electronic devices and maladaptive postures while using can contribute to musculoskeletal impairments. The study’s findings are concerning, as they suggest that the use of electronic devices may have negative consequences for the health of adolescents and young adults. This is particularly worrisome given the widespread use of electronic devices among adolescents and young adults.
Conclusion of study: “Prolonged use of electronic devices and maladaptive postures while using may contribute to musculoskeletal impairments in adolescents and young adults.”
