Ergonomics is important for people of all ages – you are never too young to recognise the benefits of ergonomics. The use of the PAW Board promotes good posture and hand positions.

When writing or using a laptop computer on a flat surface, people tend to roll forward at the shoulders, curving the upper spine and causing bad posture. Whenever possible you should always write on an inclined surface to ensure less strain on your neck and upper back.

Whilst writing on flat surfaces, children can have difficulty seeing past their own hand. This can cause them to adopt awkward sitting positions in an attempt to make these fine motor skill tasks more comfortable. The PAW board is designed to reduce the stresses and strains caused by working on flat tables and promote good posture.
