Addiction to touch-screen computers can cause finger muscle atrophy, medical people say

Finger "Stir" can access the Internet, play games, touch-screen electronic products to become the pursuit of the trend of the new darling of the plaything, but beware of "dial out the curse", so that the finger paralysis can not be straight, simple even comb the hair can not do the action.　　Experts say the use of touch-screen products do not exceed 10 minutes, if the finger redness and swelling, stretching flexion when the pain or weakness, should seek medical attention, otherwise severe muscle atrophy. The Hong Kong Major Gazette reported that at present, many people like to use touch-screen electronic products, for example, smartphones and tablet computers, which have to be controlled for a long time by finger compressions or a light sweep of the screen, and in-machine games need to be moved quickly and intensively by their fingers, continuing to repeat the relevant movements, may lead to the "slingshot finger" of the plate machine finger tendinitis or　　"Carpal tunnel syndrome". The more than 50-year-old Ms. Liao herself in Kwong Wah Hospital in the physical treatment of the foot, waist, and then found that the fingers, neck began to feel discomfort, easy to have limp situation, after the physical therapist examination, found that with her every night playing touch-screen electronic products.　　She said: "Every night after the Internet, will play five hour ipad only know enough", but one months later, found the finger paralysis, hold the tiger claw, serious pain to "mark tears", need to inject painkillers, "do not to do housework, comb hair." Kwong Wah Hospital Physical treatment department manager Feng Zhenwei said, "Crazy to sweep" the action will make the hand of chronic strain, because when the index finger force is frequent, can make hand extensor (extensor) and flexor muscle (flexor) problems.　　He explains that muscles can be divided into two categories, including used to maintain the body's posture and posture of the tension muscles, so that the body can exercise for a long time also feel tired, but overuse will appear contraction, that is, the phenomenon of muscle contraction, the phase is responsible for the control of joints, can not withstand long hours of work, otherwise it will become weak. The flexor muscle of the finger belongs to the tension muscle, and the extensor muscle is the phase muscle. Feng Zhenwei said, "Finger dial on will affect extensor muscle, dial is implicated flexor muscle", when the hand muscle overworked, the finger is in the state of buckling, as if shortened, try to pull straight when there will be a pull feeling, and fingers will become weak.　　Foreign research, he said, showed that a minute of hard fingers continued to start fatigue, and that 10 minutes would make the fingers, elbows and even neck uncomfortable. The Physiotherapy Department of Kwong Wah Hospital has a annual attendance of 5,000, of which 10%-20% is related to hand strain, and last year the case of carpal tunnel syndrome increased by 4%. Feng Zhenwei said that with the increasing popularity of smartphones and tablet computers, the number of patients will increase, so the special "ten-style Shu Jian" physical treatment, strengthen the patient's finger muscles.　　After one months of physical therapy, Ms. Liao has become flexible in her fingers. Feng Zhenwei said, use home touch screen products do not exceed 10 minutes, and regularly let the fingers for stretching exercise, if the finger redness, swelling, flexion or weakness of the wrist, should seek medical attention, otherwise serious people will appear muscle atrophy.
