The goal of this study was to define the differences between desktop computer users and laptop computer users. Also define the affection of working with computer on different body regions. Neck, shoulder, upper back, lower back and hands recognized as a region with maximum risk for suffering to muscles disorders and elbows, hips\thighs\buttocks, knees and ankles\feet have been reported as a region with minimum pain. Electromyography tests have been done on 5 respondents. The experiments have been done on 6 different body regions for each of the respondents when they are working with a desk type computer and a laptop computer. Also we studied the interaction between type of computer and body regions. The ANOVA result showed that each of them did not have any affection on respondents but the interaction between them has a significant difference
