Description

<p>In recent years, the scene of the use of touch panel devices such as smartphones has been increasing. About 50% of user are operating devices with their one-hand. Also, about 70% of the one-handed users operate devices with a thumb finger. The one-handed users may have high risks of becoming tenosynovitis. Because tenosynovitis increased with the spread of computers in the past, increase of the tenosynovitis is expected due to the recent spread of smartphone. Tenosynovitis disturb healthy living and work, so it is necessary to investigate the burden of thumb finger in smartphone operation of daily life. In order to investigate the burden, it is necessary to examine the characteristics of smartphone operation, but there are still few studies yet. In this study, we aimed to clarify the characteristics of the thumb-operation of one-handed user from measurements of the joint angle, speed, EMG and thumb movement.</p>
