Working for long hours on your laptop or computer can harm your posture and also cause back pain, neck pain, etc. Many researchers agree that the design of laptops isn’t as convenient as that of desktops because there isn’t any space between the screen and the keyboard. When the laptop isn’t in the proper position for the wrist, the screen is not in the right angle, and vice versa. If a person keeps on reading or working like this, he may cause serious injury to his back or his wrists. In such situations, the use of laptop stands is highly recommended. The laptop desk or a desktop stand can not only eliminate all the ergonomic problems but also stop the heating problem of your laptops.
The laptops are not capable of providing basic ergonomic comforts to the users and instead pose a great ergonomic challenge because they have a fixed design and though their screen can be moved a little, they are not able to provide proper comfort to the wrist and the back of the person using it. No matter how convenient and mobile laptops are, they harm either the posture of our neck/back or the posture of our hand/wrist and cause a number of other musculoskeletal disorders and physical ailments. The productivity of the workers also decreases because they go through a lot of discomfort while performing different tasks.
Excessive use of laptops can cause a hunch on your back, called laptop hunch. The laptop is a great gadget for people who move from place to place but the people who have to work from 9 to 5 while sitting on a desk suffer from ergonomic problems.
