Article Synopsis
- Twenty-seven participants completed typing tasks using different styles, including right-hand holding and two-hand typing at various heights.
- Results showed that the right-hand holding (S-thumb) style led to the slowest typing speed and increased muscle activity in the right upper limb muscles.
- Holding the phone at high or low positions reduced neck and elbow flexion but increased muscle strain in the right trapezius compared to typing at chest level.
Background: Metatarsalgia due to increased plantar pressure under the metatarsal head (MTH) is often seen with wearing high-heeled shoes. However, the concomitant soft tissue strain has not been well discussed. The objective of our study was to explore the standing plantar pressure and corresponding soft tissue strain under the metatarsal heads (MTHs) with different heel heights.
