It is known that laptop computer stand is helpful to maintain the good posture while using laptop computer on the desk. But the quantitative validation of its effect has not been reported. Using the wearable neck posture tracker, the forward flexion angle of the neck can be measured in daily life. In this study, the forward flexion angles of the neck while using the laptop computer with and without laptop computer stand were compared. From the posture data of 10 subjects for 6 hours, the average of the forward flexion angle was 0.9 degree with laptop computer stand and 16.3 degree without laptop computer stand. As the conclusion, laptop computer stand can decrease the forward flexion angle which is known as forward head posture while using the laptop computer on the desk.
