After speaking to a physical therapist about back and shoulder pain, I tried something new with my laptop that eased the pain tremendously. The simple solution? Place my laptop on 2-3 thick books and use a separate keyboard and mouse so that I could easily reach the keys and mouse but my neck and back wouldn’t have to suffer by constantly looking down. Perhaps in the future, pull out shelves with keyboards and mice as well as tables with sections that can be raised (in lieu of thick books) could be provided. Also, instead of having desktop monitors be attached to non-moving stands, the monitors could be attached to adjustable stands so that the monitors could be brought to the eye level of the users.
