Effects of Smartphone Use on Gait and Postural Control in Healthy Adults

This study evaluated the effects of smartphone use on gait biomechanics and standing postural control in healthy adults. Participants performed standardized smartphone tasks under different experimental conditions while walking on a treadmill and while maintaining a standing position. Gait parameters and postural control measures were assessed to determine whether the type of smartphone task and the manner of using the device influence human movement and balance. The study aimed to identify task-specific changes associated with smartphone use during walking and standing.
