Lapdawg Stand

One of the more common contributing factors to neck pain these days appears to be the use of laptops.  The design of it encourages a forward head posture, strain of the upper back, and malposition of the wrists which can lead to repetitive stress injury.  I have posted several products which can help with this and recently I came across the Lapdawg stand.

I have not personally used one, so I can’t vouch for the quality or versatility, but its ability to be configured for use on a desk, couch, or bed is compelling.  It can also double as a book stand.  I would be interested in feedback from others who may have used it.

EZ Reacher

If you find yourself constantly reaching into high or low places, or if you have bad knees, the EZ reacher might just be the thing to prevent low back strain. I originally found this on Cool Tools, which gave it a favorable review for durability and ease of use. It might be the perfect thing to give an inflamed knee or back time to heal, especially after a surgery.
