WRONG Do not hunch forward over your touchscreen, leaving your back unsupported by your chair.

Using a touch-enabled tablet

It is especially important to scan for awkward head and neck posture when using touch-enabled tablets. If you use this technology often and find you have discomfort in your neck, shoulders, and back, you may be looking down at the screen for extended periods. Placing the tablet on a table, changing the tilt of the tablet case, or using a tablet holder attached to a monitor arm may help you to balance your head more comfortably over your neck and shoulders.

In the office, you may want to use both a tablet and a non-touch display at the same time. If this is the case, you may want to consider a height-adjustable accessory for the tablet. Remember to scan for awkwardness and adjust for comfort as you use a combination of touch and non-touch displays. For arm comfort, you may want to bring the touch display closer than the non-touch display.
