Such a pain is common among people using an iPad kept in the lap, and sitting in a slouching or bending posture. The study also showed that this condition is twice more common in women than in men. This condition is also more prevalent in younger adults than in older adults. The gender disparity could be due to women\u2019s stronger and smaller stature.
