ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a wrist support that is designed to maintain a typist's hand, wrist, and forearm in a neutral or aligned position. The wrist support includes a base member having an upper curved surface that partially conforms to the typist's wrist. The base member is preferably fastened to the user's wrist with a flexible strap having a plurality of hook and loop pile patches. An arm extends forward and upward from a front edge of the base member and has a support member at a distal end thereof. The support member is positioned under the user's palm to lightly support the user's hand without unduly restricting movement of the user's fingers. The support member preferably has an upper curved surface that is large enough to comfortably support the user's palm, but small enough so that the user may pivot his or her fingers up or down, backwards and forwards.
