| Summary: | and was reported to be the preferred method of Biomechanical analysis showed that the total compressive cart on a daily basis, especially if it were designed for cart. Methods were compared on the bases of heart rate, computer use. Many mobile computer users face problems with consumption (48% for females and 46% for males), and, energy expenditure, biomechanical analysis, and subjective force on L5/S1 was less for the cart than for the briefcase gathered and analyzed data concerning three methods of laptop heart rate (119 beats per minute) was measured, which, in laptop and peripheral equipment transportation. This study Laptop computer usage is a significant portion of business less pain, especially in the shoulder, upper arm, elbow, lower back, lower arm, wrist, and hand than when they used a office use and not just for traveling. It was determined or the shoulder bag-, this transportation method created less percent of the participants would consider using a rolling required less energy, produced the least stress on the L5/S1 responses. With the cart, a significantly lower average rolling cart. Using the rolling cart produced less pain, shoulder bag or a briefcase. Also, slightly more then fifty stress on the L5/S1 vertebral joint. When participants used studied under laboratory controlled conditions was the that the most effective laptop transportation method of those the cart to transport a laptop and peripherals, they reported therefore, also resulted in lower energy expenditure. transportation: a briefcase, a shoulder bag, and a rolling transportation. turn, resulted in a lower percentage of maximum oxygen vertebral joint than did the briefcase or the shoulder bag, |
