Product Summary |
---|
The ArmSupport Red from Contour Design is designed specifically for use with the RollerMouse Red. The ArmSupport Red mounts directly to the desk or worksurface, providing a rigid extended arm support to reduce the load on the shoulders. The foam cushioning ensures comfort even during extended work sessions and the leather-like cover is easily cleaned. In order to use the ArmSupport Red, the standard palm support included with the RollerMouse Red is detached and set aside. The RollerMouse Red then "docks" directly into the ArmSupport Red, creating a single solution that combines the ergonomic benefits of an extended arm support with the convenience of a centrally-positioned RollerMouse.
The ArmSupport Red is especially beneficial for those who may be working at elevated workstations where the usual support provided by chair armrests is not available. Height adjustable workstations are also ideal locations to deploy the ArmSupport Red because these workstations are easily adjusted in height to find the optimum support position. |
Ergonomic Benefits |
---|
Reduces Load on the Shoulders - The ArmSupport Red transfers the weight of the arms off of the shoulders and onto the desk. This reduces the strain on the soft tissues of the shoulder area while also encouraging a relaxation of the muscles across the neck and shoulder girdle.
Eliminates Wrist Extension - Because the ArmSupport Red extends the support well along the entire forearm, with the wrist and forearm being equally supported, the hands are ideally placed to ensure a neutral alignment of the wrists for both mouse and keyboard use. Learn More About Wrist Extension.
Reduces Risk of Pinch Points - When the worksurface height is correctly positioned (or the operator positioned to the optimum height) the ArmSupport Red ensures that the weight of the forearms and hands is dispersed evenly across the elevated cushioned surface, rather than against the edge of the desk. This can reduce the potential for pressure against the forearm or wrist.

Usage Tips |
---|
- The ArmSupport Red is ideal for those working at adjustable height workstations. When standing or leaning the support generally provided by chair armrests is not available. This leaves the shoulders and neck muscles bearing the weight that is usually placed on the armrests. The ArmSupport Red ensures that whether you are sitting, standing or somewhere in-between, the shoulders and neck are able to relax while working.
- When using the ArmSupport Red and a RollerMouse Red from a traditional seated position you will need to ensure that you are sitting high enough for your shoulders to relax. In addition your elbows should be positioned below your shoulders when your forearms and hands are resting on the arm support. If you have a height-adjustable desk this will be easy to achieve by a simple adjustment of the desk. However, in the case of "fixed height" work surfaces, because the average desk height is well above the optimum position for most people, it will almost certainly be necessary to raise your chair and add a footrest in order to get to the appropriate ergonomic height.
This Table of Sit Stand Heights may help you get an idea of what your "ideal" keyboard/mouse height should be. Of course each person will vary somewhat so tweak the heights to optimize your comfort, rather than trying to force your body to conform to a chart figure.
