ABSTRACT:
An ergonomic support for portions of the forearm, wrist, palm and hand of a user of data entry devices. The support raises shaped hand cradles to a position whereby the user's fingers and thumbs may access all keys, balls, rollers and switches of the data entry devices while being supported thereby reducing loading on the upper extremities of the operator. The hand cradles are mounted on a tower fixed to a foot pad which are fabricated to slide over the support surface in front of the devices. An optional glide board may be placed under the devices if the support surface inhibits easy sliding of the foot pads. The front edge of the keyboard may be raised to accommodate the toe of the foot pads. A mouse support may be placed under a mouse device to raise the mouse to a height compatible with the keyboard.
