Abstract (English): Background: to evaluate the association between the strength of a student's grasp and text neck syndrome. Methodology: On 60 college students, correlation research was conducted. were assigned into two equal groups (groups A and B) at random; group A represents those who use cell phones for less than four hours each day. Group B is made up of those who use their smartphones for more than four hours each day. individuals with a history of upper limbs or neck traumas, inflammatory joint disease, Genetic spinal deformity, or history of surgery the neck were excluded. The subjects filled out a detailed assessment form that asked for information like Name, age, dominant hand, how many hours were spent using a phone, and Neck Disability Index are also included. Later, the strength of their dominant hand's grip was evaluated using a digital hand dynamometer. Result: The connection between the neck disability index and the power of the hands' grasp test was evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficient because the data were not regularly distributed. There is no significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: Prolonged use of smartphones increases neck pain without affecting on handgrip strength. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Fundamento: evaluar la asociación entre la fuerza de comprensión de un estudiante y el síndrome del cuello del texto. Metodología: se realizó una investigación de correlación con 60 estudiantes universitarios. fueron asignados aleatoriamente a dos grupos iguales (grupos A y B); El grupo A representa a aquellos que utilizan el teléfono móvil menos de cuatro horas al día. El grupo B está formado por quienes utilizan sus smartphones más de cuatro horas al día. Se excluyeron las personas con antecedentes de traumatismos en las extremidades superiores o el cuello, enfermedad inflamatoria de las articulaciones, deformidad genética de la columna o antecedentes de cirugía del cuello. Los sujetos completaron un formulario de evaluación detallado que pedía información como nombre, edad, mano dominante, cuántas horas pasaron usando un teléfono y también se incluye el índice de discapacidad del cuello. Posteriormente, se evaluó la fuerza de agarre de la mano dominante utilizando un dinamómetro de mano digital. Resultado: la conexión entre el índice de discapacidad del cuello y la prueba de potencia de presión de las manos se evaluó utilizando el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson porque los datos no se distribuyeron regularmente. No hay diferencia significativa entre los grupos. Conclusión: el uso prolongado de teléfonos inteligentes aumenta el dolor de cuello sin afectar la fuerza de presión manual. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
