dc.description.abstractBackground: The use of technological devices for more than a certain number of hours in daily life causes some anatomical changes in the human body. The aim of this study was to determine the changes that may occur in the range of motion in the wrist depending on the duration of computer use and to perform exami- nations on the wrist. Materials and Methods: In the study conducted on university students, a questionnaire was used to obtain demographic information, a tape measure, a manual muscle test, and a universal goniometer with a sensitivity of 1 degree, and measurements were made with 198 volunteer participants. The data and analysis of the study were performed and evaluated with SPSS (Statistical Program in Social Sciences) 25 program. Results: In this study conducted on university students, an increase in radial and ulnar deviation degrees due to computer use was found (p<0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the groups (those who used computers for less than 3 hours and more than 3 hours) according to the E-sports (E: Elec- tronic) status of the participants (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups (those who used computers for less than 3 hours and more than 3 hours) in wrist circumference measurement (p>0.05). Conclusions: We believe that knowing the radial and ulnar goniometric angles of the wrist will guide clinicians in wrist fractures and wrist analysis.
