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.

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.

Resting the forearm on the desktop can becomeincreasingly uncomfortable.

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.
