Madhavan on the side effects of Mobile phones. Madhavan is known for his honest and frank talk on various issues. Now, speaking at a seminar, he spoke about the side effects of mobile phones.
He said “I’ll ask all of you to hold up your fingers like that- the hand which you don’t use the phone, just run your hand along the rib and see if there was a dip in your finger, and then do that with the same hand that you use the phone..I promise you, we all have mobile phone fingers. “If you can see, I have it myself,” He continued “Your body is changing because of that bloody phone.”
Mobile Phone Fingers
In recent years, several people have described experiencing a deformity of their pinky finger due to excessive cell phone use. This strange phenomenon, known as smartphone pinky, is becoming common, with pictures of pinky fingers indented or bent in strange ways posted all over social media.
Dr Daria Singh, Clincial Director, Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Joint Replacement Program, Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad revealed “Using a phone for long duration can lead to muscle stiffness, cramps, and even pain in the fingers, wrists, or handsmobile. This discomfort often comes from repetitive movements such as scrolling, typing, or gripping the device for extended durations.”
