ABSTRACT:
A system and method support the forearm and hand of a user performing repetitive tasks. In one embodiment, the system includes a support bar having a low friction upper surface. First and second cradles are coupled to the support bar to receive and support a user's hands and lower forearms. The cradles have curved bottom surfaces that rest upon the curved upper surface of the support bar to provide a small, low-friction contact area, which enables the user's arms and hands to move effortlessly forward and backwards and left and right. The cradles also tilt and swivel with respect to the support bar. The system and method reduce strains on the arms and shoulders of the user by supporting at least a portion of the weight of the user's arms and hands while the user performs the repetitive tasks.
