Have you ever looked closely?
Holding your phone yourself?
It is to hold the phone with the whole hand,
Or hold the phone with your little thumb?
Recently, the topic of "holding the mobile phone for a long time leads to the deformation of the little thumb" has aroused heated discussion among netizens. Some netizens found that their little thumb showed obvious bending.
The reporter also observed that the little thumb of the left hand that has been holding the mobile phone, even when not holding the mobile phone, has obvious depressions.
Ma Ming, deputy director of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, said that this is indeed very likely to be related to holding objects for a long time, and the bones have a certain deformation after a long period of pressure. There is no obvious pain in the short term, no local discomfort can not intervene, but everyone should be careful, if the time is too long to form a habit, the local soft tissue is under too much pressure, it may produce pathological inflammatory changes.
If holding the phone for a long time causes tenosynovitis, it needs to be treated in time. Dr. Ma said that the first reaction to tenosynovitis is pain, and the second is limited movement and dysfunction, such as grasping or slightly pinching something, which has limited manifestations.
Doctor reminds
When holding the mobile phone, you should change the posture frequently to avoid a single finger being compressed for a long time to reduce the occurrence of finger depression, deformation or tenosynovitis, and usually move the hand appropriately.
If there is discomfort in the local area of the finger, you can do some simple massage, so that after the soft tissue and tendon produce a certain tension, it will produce normal tendon sliding, which will reduce the cumulative damage to the tissue.
