Articulating Gel Forearm Support with Removable Mouse Tray

The Articulating Gel Forearm Support with Removable Mouse Tray from Aidata reduces the load borne by the muscles of the shoulders and upper back when the user is typing, mousing or using precision instruments and tools. By fully supporting the weight of the extended forearm, the device relieves the strain on these smaller upper body muscles and helps to reduce the associated risk of fatigue and injury. The Articulating Gel Forearm Support is jointed at two points to enable height and angle adjustment, and swivels at three points to allow natural, free-flowing arm movements throughout the work session. A soft gel forearm pad cradles the forearm to eliminate pressure on the sensitive underside of the arm and allows blood to circulate unimpeded.

• Fully Articulating Movement: The Articulating Gel Forearm Support features two joints which fully articulate, and three swivel points, enabling the support to follow arm movements easily and fluidly.
• Height Adjustable: The Articulating Gel Forearm Supports are height adjustable from 3" below the mounting surface to 5" above it, via two vertical adjustment points. The first (closest to the clamp) sets the overall height of the support; the second (closest to the user) adjusts the slope of the gel pad. A easy-to-adjust tooth and valley gear system ensures a tight, secure lock that maintains its position until readjusted.
• Wide Range of Adjustment: The wide range of height adjustment makes the Articulating Gel Forearm Support compatible with vertical keyboards such as Safetype's Vertical Keyboard or the Kinesis Freestyle2 with Ascent Accessory. The Articulating Gel Forearm Support is a practical alternative in situations where chair arm rests cannot be raised high enough.
• Smooth Articulation: The gliding, fluid motion of the Gel Forearm Support allows intuitive, distraction-free movements as the user concentrates on a single task, or transitions between tasks of different types.
• Removable Mouse Tray: The Articulating Gel Forearm Support can be used with or without the included Mouse Tray. Centred and off-centred mounting points facilitate a wide range of positions. The Mouse Tray sits 1.5" above the mounting point.
• Cushioning Forearm Cradle: The forearm cradle features a soft gel pad with a Lycra cover. The gel/lycra pad contours to the forearm and provides cushioning and breathability during use.
• Extended Range of Support: Able to extend 15" (38.1 cm) from the edge of the desk, the Articulating Gel Forearm Support does not obstruct the work area.
• Adjustable Clamp: The clamp can be attached to any surface, from 1.85" thick (4.7 cm) to 2.5" (6.4 cm) thick.
• Durable Construction, Sleek Finish: The arm is composed of a durable aluminum alloy with a non-reflective silver/pewter finish, and supports up to 24.25 lbs (11 kg). The Articulating Gel Forearm Support with Removable Mouse Tray is sturdy enough for use in an industrial environment or research lab, and attractive enough for a professional office.

• Experiment to find the best location to clamp the device. Most computer users clamp the Forearm Support just to the right of their keyboard.
• Adjust the height and tilt. Twist the large, easy to turn knobs a couple of rotations, nudge the joint into the chosen position, and tighten the knob. The support will remain securely in position until the knobs are loosened.
• Consider using two Mouse Trays. If you have an Articulating Gel Arm Support for each arm, you have the opportunity to balance the mousing load between your left and right hands (provided, of course, that you have an ambidextrous pointing device, or one for each hand). Notice that the Mouse Tray can swivel 360º, allowing you to position it just above your worksurface, or to extend it towards you.
• Position the Mouse Tray above the numeric keypad. If you do not use the numeric keypad on your standard keyboard, try mounting the Forearm Support closer to the keyboard so that the Mouse Tray hovers over the numeric keypad. This reduces your reach for the mouse and can lower the risk of pain and injury in your shoulder muscles.
• Consider working without the Mouse Tray. Removing the Mouse Tray enables you to position the keyboard and mouse at the same level.
