An investigation of the effects of touchpad location within a notebook computer
APPLIED ERGONOMICS, 32(1), 101–110.
author keywords: notebook computer; pointing device; wrist posture; musculoskeletal discomfort
MeSH headings : Adult; Analysis of Variance; Elbow / physiopathology; Equipment Design / instrumentation; Ergonomics; Female; Humans; Male; Microcomputers; Shoulder / physiopathology; United States; User-Computer Interface; Wrist / physiopathology
TL;DR:
Touchpad location was found to significantly impact upper extremity posture, discomfort, preference, and performance, and the top center location was particularly poor, in that it elicited more ulnar deviation, more shoulder flexion, more discomfort, and perceptions of performance impedance.

Continuous assessment of back stress (CABS): A new method to quantify low-back stress in jobs with variable biomechanical demands
HUMAN FACTORS, 42(2), 209–225.
MeSH headings : Back / physiology; Back Injuries / etiology; Biomechanical Phenomena; Cumulative Trauma Disorders / etiology; Data Interpretation, Statistical; Female; Humans; Male; Models, Theoretical; National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, U.S.; Occupational Diseases / etiology; Occupations; Risk Assessment; Stress, Physiological / etiology; Task Performance and Analysis; United States; Workload
TL;DR:
A hybrid assessment methodology that employs established assessment tools and then represents their evaluations in a way that emphasizes the distributions of biomechanical stress is developed, illustrating the necessity for more advanced low-back injury risk assessment techniques for jobs with highly variable manual materials handling requirements.
