Notebook stand improves posture

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

When using a laptop on a flat surface, an office workers posture becomes the main health problem. With the screen and keyboard being a single unit, a laptop’s design encourages a hunched over working position throughout the day.

This leads to fatigue and discomfort in both the neck and shoulders. Using a laptop also discourages head movement, meaning a healthy working position can be achieved by using a raised screen.

Using computer accessories such as a laptop or notebook stand, along with an external keyboard and mouse, can increase an office worker’s productivity by 17%, BakkerElkhuizen says. It adds that using these accessories together significantly improves posture as well as reduces neck strain by 32% and improves worker’s comfort by 21%. 

The company's Ergo-Q 260 portable notebook stand is very light and thin at only 7mm thickness, so it easily fits into any notebook bag. The stand also offers five different heights for comfort, ranging from 9cm to 21cm. As well as holding your notebook, the stand contains an integrated document holder to increase data input and productivity.
