ErgoRest is an articulated arm rest designed to provide support for your arms while using a computer or terminal R.S.I. Repetitive Strain Injuries (R.S.I.) occur from repeated physical movements doing damage to tendons, nerves, muscles and other soft body tissues. This results in tightness, discomfort, stiffness, or pain in the hands, wrists, fingers, forearms, or elbows. Other complaints are tingling, coldness and/or numbness in the hands, clumsiness or loss of strength and coordination in the hands, sometimes even pain that wakes you up at night. The utilization of computers and information technology has changed the nature of office work substantially in the 1990s. Despite the great advances of high technology in the office, the physical working conditions have not changed essentially. Daily toil at the video display terminal is taking a toll on millions of clerical workers, but also intensive gamers and CAD/CAM engineers, causing constant tension in the neck and shoulders, disturbing the blood circulation in the muscles. This results in muscular fatigue and pain. Where or how serious you are injured, and how best to treat it, varies from person to person. However: THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES! Healing can happen, but it takes months, sometimes years.
Of course you will still have to be able to reach both keyboard and mouse with one hand, without having to raise your arm unnecessarily. For this purpose, we recommend ERGOREST® forearm rests.
The height is simply adapted. A model with integrated mouse pad is also available. CONSTRUCTION USAGE Adjustable Fastening Unit (see

INSTALLATION (pict. 2)
So: start with adjusting the height of the desktop or chair to your sitting posture. Adjust then the height of the forearm rests with the screw (C) located beneath the arm. The rests should provide the forearms light support. NOTE: Do not adjust the forearm rests too high! USE Place your arm on the rest so that the forearm is balanced on the pad. That is how you can best take advantage of the support and movability offered by ERGOREST®. The ERGOREST® forearm rest provides the user easy movability when the arm is placed on the rest. However, its movability is limited when not in use. This prevents the forearm rest from moving to the side when the arm is occasionally lifted from the pad.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE Use alcohol solution to remove ink, lipstick and other stains. Have the pad replaced when worn or damaged.

ERGOREST®
forearm rests take over the supporting role of
your arms and shoulders. The muscular tension in the shoulders can be decreased
down to one tenth of the normal level.
Yet the user has got almost unlimited freedom of movement and can reach all
space on and beside the keyboard easily.
The
best working posture is achieved when the height of the chair, the back of the
chair, the (possible) footrest and the height of the forearm rests are correctly
adjusted to the height of the worktop. In a correct working posture the position
of the head and neck is natural, the angle between the body, elbows and knees is
over 100 degrees. The back of the chair is reclined sufficiently, the front of
the chair does not press the tights and the feet rest preferably on a footrest.
