Ergonomics Risk and Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention from Tablet PC User among Undergraduate
Keywords:
Tablet PC, Smart phone, Stretching exerciseAbstract
Tablet PC (TPC) has more popular using because easy to use and facilitate activity of daily living. Tablet PC is important educational aid for student. Long term use may be cause of neck and shoulder pain, poor posture, sleep disturbance, mind affect, attention deficit, headache, thumb pain from typing, upper extremity pain, slouch posture and shoulder elevation. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effect of health, posture change from long term of TPC use for prevention and treatment by stretching exercise, postural awareness. Which can reduce the risk of musculoskeletal pain.
