ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes a support surface and a moving mechanism for automatically varying the orientation of the support surface in a predetermined manner over time to reduce or eliminate the likelihood of repetitive stress injury as a result of performing repetitive tasks on or otherwise using the support surface. By varying the orientation of the support surface, e.g., by moving and/or rotating the support surface over time, repetitive tasks performed on the support surface are modified at least subtly to reduce the repetitiveness of the individual motions performed by an operator.
