Les utilisateurs d’appareils mobiles ressentent souvent un inconfort musculo-squelettique dû à l’utilisation intensive de ces appareils dans des postures statiques. Les postures statiques prolongées sont la principale cause d’inconfort au niveau des membres inférieurs. Il existe des preuves de l’association entre la douleur des membres inférieurs et l’utilisation d’appareils mobiles. Les experts devraient s’appuyer sur cette étude pour proposer des mesures ergonomiques appropriées et efficaces.
Mobile device users often experience musculoskeletal discomfort due to the intensive use of these devices in static body postures. Prolonged sitting and standing at work and in free time are risk factors for various diseases and all-cause mortality. Prolonged static postures are the main cause of lower extremity discomfort. A systematic search of the articles was conducted in four different electronic databases. All selected papers were appraised using a critical appraisal tool. Fourteen studies were selected for the review. The prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints ranged from 0.4% to 72.9%. Mobile device-related lower extremity discomfort ranged from 0.4% to 9.6%. The most common body posture among mobile device users in the selected studies was sitting. There is some evidence on the association between lower extremity pain and mobile device use. Experts should take this review as a basis to provide appropriate and effective ergonomic measures, especially for working mobile device users.
