走路看手机,吃饭看手机,坐车还看手机,低头族已经成为普遍现象,而这样无休止的低头看手机姿势却导致上背部脊柱弯曲,甚至可能造成永久性损伤。
An epidemic is affecting students worldwide; the painful result of our generation being the first to grow up with an endless availability of smart phones, laptops, iPads and gaming consoles. It is the “iHunch”, the forward curve of the upper back caused by constantly looking down at a smartphone or similar device. The iHunch can result in permanent curvature of the spine and is the underlying problem of most neck and back issues and up to 50 percent of headaches.
全世界的学生们都正在受一种通行病症的困扰,而这个病症是我们这一代伴随着智能手机、手提电脑、平板电脑以及游戏机长大的人面临的痛苦结局。这个病症就是“i弓背”,因长期连续低头查看智能手机等电子设备而导致的上背部弯曲。这种弓背症状可能会导致脊柱永久性弯曲,同时也是大部分颈部和背部问题以及五成头疼问题的诱因。
之所以用iHunch这个说法,大概是因为苹果公司的iPhone和iPad系列已经成为智能手机和平板系列产品的代表了吧。
The screens of the electronic devices we are consistently using cannot be separated from the keyboard, so students are forced to bend over at the upper back in order to use them, unlike desktop computers which can be set up to be reasonably ergonomically safe.
我们经常使用的电子设备屏幕和键盘是一体的,因此,学生们使用时难免弓着背。智能电子设备不像台式电脑那样能够按照人体工程学的安全要求设置屏幕和键盘的高度。
