Narrative:
As I made a turn during taxi; the tiller bound shortly after beginning the turn. I stopped the aircraft to investigate and found the power cord from the first officers efb holding the tiller from further movement. We moved the cord and secured it to the efb mounting. After landing; while exiting the runway the cord had worked its way loose and again interfered with the tiller. In addition; the captains efb is situated so that you hit your knuckles on the efb mounting when turning. This is a design flaw that could lead to a very dangerous situation. Reposition these tough pad efb's and ensure that the cords are routed and secured as to not interfere with taxing and turning the aircraft.
