ABSTRACT:
A computer mouse assembly for preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome includes a computer mouse and a palm support having a curved upper surface. The palm surface has a substantially flat lower surface that is adjustably mounted on the upper surface of the computer mouse. The palm support serves to prevent the user's wrist from significantly bending, thereby preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome despite extended use of the computer mouse. A first piece of hook or loop type material is attached to the computer mouse. A second piece of hook or loop type material is attached to the lower surface of the palm support. The palm support is mounted on the upper surface of the computer mouse by interconnecting the first piece of hook or loop type material to the second piece of hook or loop type material. The palm support may be moved to various positions on the surface of the computer mouse in order to adapt to the differing hand sizes of a variety of different users. The palm support may be attached to the computer mouse in other ways, such as by adhesive or snaps, or may be integrally molded with the mouse housing.
