Differences in Upper Extremity Muscle Activity, Neck Angle, and Body Discomfort Between Tablet Usage With Virtual Keyboard and Bluetooth Keyboard
Tablet use with the two types of keyboards induced an increase in muscle activity, neck flexion angles, and body discomfort, which may contribute to the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study may serve as a basis for developing guidelines to reduce the risk of MSDs during tablet use.
