Forearm Supports
Forearm supports typically clamp to the front edge of a desk or table. They support the forearm, relaxing the arm, shoulder and neck muscles as well as off-loading your upper extremity weight from the back.

ErgoRest Articulating Arm Support
The highest quality Arm Support available, provides comfortable arm, shoulder and neck support with unrestricted motion. Includes 5" long cushioned arm pad. Move stress free while using keyboard, mouse or calculator. Attractively designed. Clamps to work surfaces up to 1-5/8" thick. Provides 17" of reach and 3" of vertical adjustment.
The ERGOREST was introduced in 1995 and was the winner of the Tylenol Arthritis Foundation Design Awards. Used in many different situations, this product has been approved internally for clean room use. These armrests allows you to effortlessly maintain neutral wrist position during horizontal movement across the keyboard or other work surface. This crucial position allows arms and hands to glide without ulnar deviation. Tendons controlling fingers and hands move with minimal resistance, and hands are able to maintain a free flow of activity without lifting the arms. Most often bought in pairs (one for each arm).

Vertebral-Soft System
Vertebral-Soft is a new, innovative concept created by a team of Medical Doctors, Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Ergonomists, designed specifically to alleviate potential and existing back problems, avoiding the problems of carpal tunnel syndrome and increasing comfort while working.
Vertebral-Soft has proven adaptable to 95% of most desks or work stations and works well with most all body types.
The principal reason for back problems in an office related environment stems from arm and shoulder weight being put on the spinal column. This typically occurs while working in front of a keyboard. This additional weight is supported by the spinal column which exerts undue tension on the vertebras.
The Vertebral-Soft system allows the arms and elbows to support the majority of this misplaced weight, thereby taking the pressure off of the spinal column and allowing the user to work in a more comfortable and healthier position. By positioning the wrist parallel to the arm it relieves over-extension which contributes to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Vertebral- Soft has already been registered and trademarked in many countries including the US, Canada and throughout Europe and has won awards in several European trade expositions.
