| Abstract: | ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The popularity & functions offered in the smart phones, there has been an increase in demand and according to a new study texting & using mobile devices for long periods of time could lead to a lower life expectancy and the incidence of musculoskeletal impairment of hand, wrist, forearm, arm and neck has been increasing all over the world due to prolonged forceful, low amplitude, repetitive use of smart phones. AIM & OBJECTIVE:To find out the effect of hand and finger exercises on grip and pinch strength among high smartphone users of the 4 weeks. Methodology: 30 subjects of age group 18- 25 years were selected, who fulfilled the inclusion Criteria. Out of the 30 smartphone users 15 subjects who were using smartphone for at least 4 hours minimum per day and also those who scored more than 25 in smartphone addiction scale .15 subjects who selected were treated with hand and finger exercise for a period of 4 weeks. The exercise comprises of seven simples strengthening and stretching exercises. The pre-test and post-test measurement was taken using hand held dynamometer and pinch dynamometer. RESULT: The pre-test and post-test mean values of hand-held dynamometer and pinch dynamometer was analysed using the paired ‘t’ test. For 14 degrees of freedom and 5% level of significance, the table’s’ value is 2.14and calculated ‘t’ value 16.89& 20.87. Since the calculated’ value was greater than table’s’ value null hypothesis is rejected. CONCLUSION:This study it can be concluded that grip strength and pinch strength would be improved after general hand and finger exercises for 4 weeks among high smartphone users |
