Postural supporting cervical traction workstation to improve resting state brain activity in digital device users: EEG study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to determine the effect of postural support workstation on inducing effective brain activity during rest.

Methods

Thirty-five healthy digital overusers were recruited as participants. We conducted two interventions of head weight support traction (ST) and conventional traction (CT) strength on all participants in random order. Participants' arousal levels and psychological comfort were assessed. In addition, changes in brain activity caused by traction were confirmed by measuring changes in resting state brain activity using an electroencephalogram (EEG).

Results

Under the ST condition, psychological comfort improved while alert levels were maintained. In addition the resting brain activity of EEG was characterized by strong focused attentio
