The ergonomics of iPads and E readers will be an ongoing issue going forward. Because an Ipad or tablet is usually used in the lap or flat on a table there are several ergonomic issues that come up.Problems:
- The neck and shoulders are usually bent forward.
- The hand position for typing is often awkward.
- If holding on to the tablet with one hand there is a chance for pinch grip fatigue.
- Use an angled stand for viewing the tablet.
- Use a separate keyboard for typing
- Place the tablet on a lap tray or on a stand instead of holding it with a pinch grip
- Consider lighter weight tablet or e-reader
