The media has been crowing about 'phone bone' for a week. Here's why it's ridiculous.
by David Shahar and Mark Sayers, both biomechanics experts in the School of Health and Sport Sciences at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia. Their 2018 paper follows up and expands on a similar study they published in theShahar and Sayers examined x-rays of 1,200 individuals aged 18 to 86 years old, who were all radiographed at the same chiropractic clinic; many of the people were therefore symptomatic for cervical spine pain.
The"enlarged EOP" studies have gotten new life this past week particularly because of Shahar and Sayers's interpretations of their data. In concluding their 2018 paper, they write,"W The external occipital protuberance is a well-studied trait in anthropology, and we know a lot about its frequency in different populations. This paper cites none of that."
Sara Becker of the University of California Riverside said that she is"not surprised by this study. My own research supports the idea that constantly performing a movement that is unusual - in this case staring downward for long periods of time - would affect and stress the muscles." These unusual movements, Becker notes, can cause underlying skeletal changes in kids, but cautions that Shahar and Sayers"study adults, which is where things get murky.
