ABSTRACT:
A wrist support device for keyboard operators is disclosed, the device being designed to prevent repetitive motion injury, a prevalent disease among keyboard operators. The device provides a member having upper and lower sections, with a gap between the sections. The gap is narrower than the front end of a keyboard, but may be widened to accept a keyboard by retracting the upper section from the lower section. The device is secured to the keyboard by releasing the retracted upper section, which attempts to achieve its rest position, thus clamping the device to the keyboard. The upper section provides a surface that supports a keyboard operator's wrists. The device adjusts to fit a keyboard operator's finger length by allowing the position of the upper section to be adjusted relative to the keyboard. Elastomeric strips and a pad aid in comfort and ease of use of the device.
