Offirex Handy Forearm Mouse Rest Product Details
Offirex Handy Forearm Mouse Rests are ergonomically superior to wrist rests because they give support to the whole arm, not only to the wrist. The rest is great for people who do not have armrests on their chair and want some additional support for their arms. This solution works exceptionally well for pregnant women who might be finding it difficult to get close enough to the desk.
The support not only offers support to the wrists but also to the forearms to reduce stress on the muscles. It helps keep the arm and wrist at a neutral position to avoid wrist bending and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Additional desk space is gained since the rests are not integral with the desktops and the unit can also be attached to fill desk corners. Setup is easy and requires no specialist knowledge and no tools. You simply position the rest on the front edge of your desk and it holds itself in place with the attachment bows. This makes it extremely quick and convenient to use.
The padded surface is far more comfortable to use than the hard cold surface of your desktop but also just as hygienic with its wipe clean material.
The support is constructed from environment-friendly materials. The wooden board used under the padding is made of FSC certified material. The Forest Stewardship Council certificate means that wood has been sourced in an environmentally friendly, socially responsible and economically viable manner. The steel of the attachment bows is fully recyclable. The powder coating of the attachment bows emits zero or near-zero VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
Two versions of this mouse rest area are available, one which is fixed and one which has sliding capability to give you more postural flexibility.
Ergonomic Benefits
Ergonomic wrist rests ensure good posture by limiting the angle to which your wrists can bend, avoiding unnecessary stress on your wrists. It is important to note that wrist rests shouldn’t provide the surface from which to work, moreover, your hands should move freely and be elevated above the rest. A good ergonomic posture ensures your arms sit naturally and parallel with the floor, with your hands supported at the same height.
During periods of downtime, or when your work routines do not require keyboard or mouse use, wrist rests provide a comfortable surface to rest and this should be via the heel or palm of your hand. This helps prevent compression in your blood vessels, tendons and nerves which is one of the causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. Resting your wrist on a hard surface like a table causes pressure on your wrists, making the rest potentially harmful.
