REDUCTION of MEDIAN NERVE COMPRESSION
The MouseBean® Hand Rest protects the delicate median nervethat runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. It does this bypreventing the central part of the wrist from being pressedagainst a hard surface. The MouseBean® Hand Rest supports thehand on the soft fleshy parts either side of the mediannerve.

Damage to the median nerve is commonly experienced as tinglingor numbness in the thumb and first two fingers but can cause avariety of symptoms including burning and tenderness in theforearm and aching in the wrist joint. The MouseBean® HandRest can help to prevent serious nerve damage.

CORRECTION of WRIST ANGLE
The MouseBean® Hand Rest elevates the forearm to maintain astraight wrist. This reduces stress on the tendons where they runthrough the carpal tunnel. Overuse of the hand and fingers whenthe wrist is bent can lead to tenosynovitis (inflammation of thecovering of the tendons), a painful condition affecting theforearm. Resting the forearm on the desktop can becomeincreasingly uncomfortable.

SPECIALLY CONTOURED BODY
The MouseBean® Hand Rest allows the wrist to rotate into acomfortable position and can be used on either hand. The gentlyrounded base allows it to slide on and off the edge of a mousematwithout snagging.

STRESS REDUCTION
The MouseBean® Hand Rest reduces tension and stress in thehand, arm, shoulder, neck and back. Because the heel of the hand isproperly supported, the arm does not need to be elevated to movethe mouse and this encourages upper arm mobility. Supporting the handin this way also seems to reduce the need to grip the mouse too tightly.Constant tension in the forearm is a common cause of tenderness and burning sensations.

Psychological stress induced by pain due to bad posture andother factors, is an important issue in the workplace and theMouseBean® Hand Rest can help to break the pain/stresscycle.

SLIDING COUPLING - FINGERTIP CONTROL
The MouseBean® Hand Rest has a sliding coupling bar that connectsto a simple stick-on socket on the rear of the mouse. Although some usersnever seem to discover it, this sliding feature allows the mouse to bemoved with the fingers for fine detail work in art and design packages.This dramatically helps to relax the muscles of the hand and forearmand further reduces stress in the upper arm.
