New Research: The Ideal Ergonomic Mouse Shape
Do you feel stresses and strains when working with your computer mouse?
At the Erasmus Medical University in the Netherlands we developed the truly ergonomic mouse, the HandShoe Mouse. It’s bio design and special shape is based on fundamental and field research.
Ergonomic Mouse for Optimal Relaxation
We noticed that the best way to realize optimal relaxation when you work with a mouse is to support your arm and hand at an angle of about thirty degrees.
This angle creates maximum relaxation in your muscles. Your body is generally built in such a way that it likes this position best. So don’t force your hand flat or in a vertical position on the desk. The HandShoe Mouse fully supports your hand in just the ideal, relaxed way. It acts like a saddle for your hand and fingers. You can let your fingers rest on the body of the HandShoe Mouse and relax the palm of your hand as well.
The shape of this ergonomic mouse allows you to slide it over your desk without having to grip it. If you place your hand on a HandShoe Mouse you will relax your hand, thumb and fingers.
An Ergonomic Mouse Needs to Support Your Fingers Too
It is interesting to know that a recent study by Professor Van Zwieten of Hasselt University Medical Center, has, again, confirmed the significance of supporting the fingers especially to prevent unnecessary stresses and strains in the joints (ref. Publication by prof. K.J. van Zwieten et al: ” Functions of some finger joints while handling the PC mouse, and their possible relevance for computer aided learning”) . The research was performed in a group of e-learning students who were frequently using a traditional computer mouse for their projects.
This new research in Belgium concluded and confirmed that the highly intense use of the fingers, with a conventional computer mouse, would require a different solution like provided by the HandShoe Mouse, which supports both hand and fingers, owing to it’s special shape. This solves the need to support a finger which has to be bent to operate the switches.
This full support results in relaxation of hands and fingers which could go as far as relaxation of the upper body like neck, shoulders and arm.
