BACKGROUND: The term electronic gadget indicates commonly used portable electronic devices. E-gadgets are commonly used for socializing, gaming, entertainment, academics, news, business, governance etc. Inappropriate electronic gadget usage leads to many musculoskeletal disorders(MSDs), due to prolonged static posture or overuse injury of certain muscle groups due to increased effort because of faulty posture like carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS), pain at thumb, wrist, elbow, shoulder and back. MSDs are group of diverse conditions affecting bones, joints, muscles and connective tissues causing pain and loss of functions. OBJECTIVE: Identification of prevalence of MSDs in E-gadget users. METHODOLOGY : Various search engines like google scholar, Pubmed, COCHRANE, MEDLINE, PEDRO, electronic journals and print sources were used. Studies were included if their subject matter was pain or MSDs due to E-gadget use and were available in English literature. Studies on pain due to any underlying conditions, congenital deformities were excluded. RESULT: 48 articles available were reviewed initially; out of which 15 studies were considered for this review after reading their abstracts. CONCLUSION: Reviewed articles suggested that commonly associated MSDs due to excessive electronic gadget usage were neck(86.4%), shoulder(78.1%), lower back(75.9%), upper back(70.3%), wrist(68.7%), elbow(18.7%). Various studies reported myofascial pain syndrome and CTS(13.13%). Prevalence of MSD on hand was noted as (61%) on right side(dominant), left side(12.85%) and (25.7%)bilaterally. Females were having more wrist pain whereas males had pain at the shoulder and back. Commonly used electronic devices were Smartphones(85%), Ipad(74%), Laptops(70%), Desktop computers(69%), and Gaming devices(63%).
