Abstract

This study examined the effects of smart phone use while young adults negotiated an obstacle (2 cm high). Seventy-four young adults (mean age: $23.76{\pm}3.17years$, age range: 20-27 years) participated in the study. They were allocated randomly into two groups; smart phone group and no smart phone group. The smart phone group negotiated an obstacle while simultaneously using a smart phone at a self-paced speed whereas the no smart phone group negotiated an obstacle with no special option. A motion analysis system were used to measure the gait parameters, such as toe clearance, cadence, step length, step width, stride length, and walking velocity in two groups. The toe clearance, and step-width, cadence, and step-length were significantly greater for the smart phone group than the no smart phone group (p<.05) and the walking velocity was significantly lower in the smart phone group (p<.05). On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the stride length between the two groups. This study suggests that smart phone use degrades the obstacle avoidance abilities of healthy young adults, which may increase risk of falls.

본 연구의 목적은 건강한 성인이 장애물 넘기 보행을 하는 동안 스마트폰 사용 유무에 따라 보행의 변화를 분석하고자 시행하였다. 74명의 건강한 성인이 본 연구에 참여하였고, 스마트폰 사용 군과 비사용 군에 무작위로 배정되었다. 스마트폰 사용 군은 스마트폰을 사용하면서 편안한 속도로 걷다가 장애물 넘기 보행을 수행하였고, 스마트폰 비사용 군은 스마트폰을 사용하지 않고 장애물 넘기 보행을 수행하였다. 각 군에 해당하는 대상자의 보행의 변화를 알아보기 위해 3차원 동작 분기를 이용하여 토우 클리어런스, 보행률, 보행 간격, 보행 넓이, 보폭, 그리고 보행 속도와 같은 보행 변수를 측정하였다. 본 연구 결과, 스마트폰 사용 군이 비사용 군보다 토우 클리어런스, 보행 넓이, 보행률, 그리고 보행 간격 변수에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 증가하였고, 보행 속도 변수에서는 유의하게 감소하였지만 보폭에서는 두 군간 유의한 차이가 없었다. 그러므로 장애물 넘기 보행을 하는 동안 정상인의 스마트폰 사용은 보행 능력을 저하시키며, 낙상의 위험을 증가시킬 것으로 사료된다.
