This study aimed to determine the effect of postural support workstation on inducing effective brain activity during rest.
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).
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 attention and relaxed activity, as evidenced by increased alpha waves throughout the brain. By contrast, in the CT condition, no significant improvement in comfort was observed. Furthermore, high-frequency brain activity, such as beta 3 and gamma waves, was observed across the entire brain regions.
In this study, the ST workstation was shown to effectively improve resting attention and psychological comfort in individuals who excessively use digital devices by inducing resting state alpha activity without stimulating high-frequency brain waves, while maintaining an upright posture with appropriate traction.
本研究旨在确定姿势支持工作站对休息期间诱导有效大脑活动的影响。
招募35名健康的数字设备过度使用者作为参与者。我们对所有参与者随机进行了头部重量支持牵引（ST）和传统牵引（CT）强度的两种干预。评估参与者的唤醒水平和心理舒适度。此外，通过使用脑电图（EEG）测量静息状态脑活动的变化来确认牵引引起的脑活动变化。
在ST条件下，心理舒适度提高，同时警觉水平保持不变。此外，EEG的静息脑活动表现为强烈的集中注意力和放松活动，整个大脑的阿尔法波增加证明了这一点。相比之下，在CT条件下，未观察到舒适度有显著改善。此外，在整个脑区观察到高频脑活动，如β3和γ波。
在本研究中，ST工作站被证明可以通过诱导静息状态阿尔法活动而不刺激高频脑电波，同时以适当的牵引保持直立姿势，有效提高过度使用数字设备的个体的静息注意力和心理舒适度。
