Corrective Action

When using my laptop on the road (conference rooms, hotel rooms. etc.) my hands, arms, shoulders, neck and back get tired when I use the laptop's keyboard and mouse.

Keyboard and mouse

Many newer laptops have quite nice LCD monitors.

An option is to obtain a separate keyboard and mouse that you plug into the laptop's ports while you continue to use the laptop's monitor.

Check out the Monitor Height section for more information regarding monitoring position.

You may need to raise your chair up to place your hands at correct level to use the keyboard and mouse. Check out the Keyboard and Chair sections for positioning guidelines.
