ABSTRACT:
An improved wrist rest (10) is disclosed for reducing repetitive motion strain injuries on the wrists of a typist or computer keyboard operator. Wrist rest (10) is located in front of and parallel to a keyboard (60) or other typing device such that the wrist or wrists (15) of a user is (are) positioned directly over the wrist rest (10) while typing. Wrist rest (10) consists of an elastic envelope (40) filled with a gelatinous material (50) which provides cushioned support for a user's wrists while maintaining the wrist or wrists in a relatively straight position. In some embodiments the gelatinous material (50) can be chilled or heated to provide a source of cold or heat for a period of time. The gelatinous material (40) can be held in place by a base support means (20). In some embodiments wrist rest (10) can be grasped with both hands and squeezed, propelling the gelatinous material within the elastic envelope, thereby functioning as an exercise means for the hands and fingers of the hands.
