ABSTRACT:
A device which uses a wrist rest in combination with a computer mouse pad to provide a non-fatiguing environment for manipulation of a computer mouse to control the cursor on a computer display. The wrist rest is designed to place the wrist of the hand manipulating the mouse at a level to provide maximum comfort. The height allows movement of the mouse without a continuous upward bend of the wrist and with movement of the hand that does not cause tension in the arm, neck and shoulder muscles. The wrist rest is also configured in a keyboard/keypad version such that the hand is elevated relative to the keys to be actuated thus relieving tension. The wrist rest and pad are made of a suitable material that does not breakdown under pressure of continuous use yet provides fluid-like pressure distribution for the wrist. The wrist rest and pad may also be used with a protective cover. The wrist rest may have removable cushions which are suitable for use in exercises and the base can have a recession for holding an exercise instruction card which aids in preventing injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome caused by repetitive motion work.
