Introduction What a good day, so many exciting things, I am not sure how you feel about physical ergonomics but I am passionate about it. As a physio I was so often called to try to heal the problems that were so obvious to prevent and yet I felt so powerless to effect change which is how I got into this area. So much of what we have heard today is about enabling people, what I want to just remind us that we are a combination of mind and body. Some of you I know are very experienced in this area and please bear with me I am sure you agree that it is important. I am so disappointed that the physical problems that we see from people using computers is not going away but increasing. I, like most thought that once we had the DSE regulations we would get the simple ergonomics right at workstations so the problems would be rare- oh how wrong, 18years on the challenges now are always changing; the percentage of our lives that involves using a computer and the variety of shapes, sizes of equipment and location we can use! So may opportunities and challenges . On thinking what the best topic of this talk would be we thought that with the rise in use of laptops and the freedom this enables so many of your clients this would be a good place to introduce ourselves to you and explain how perhaps we can help. What I would like to cover is: Health risks of computer usage The growth in the use of laptops Research into laptop use Possible laptop solutions
