Passive viewing of short-form videos like Instagram Reels can decrease postural stability. However, frequent users and those with higher addiction severity show less impact, suggesting habituation.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Human-Computer Interaction
Biomechanics

Background:

Short-form video platforms offer continuous visual stimulation.
This stimulation may cause cognitive load and affect balance.
Impact on postural control is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

Examine acute effects of Instagram Reels on postural stability.
Investigate modulation by addiction severity and usage patterns.

Main Methods:

Healthy adolescents and young adults (16-21 years) participated.
Virtual reality-based static posturography was used.
Postural stability was measured before and during passive Reels viewing.

Main Results:

Vestibular-related postural stability decreased during Reels viewing.
Higher addiction severity and longer daily use correlated with smaller stability reductions.
Purpose of use did not significantly affect changes.

Conclusions:

Passive short-video exposure acutely impairs vestibular-related postural stability.
Habitual use may attenuate immediate destabilizing effects.
Findings inform research on balance in vulnerable populations.
