Computer injuries, repetitive stress injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck, back and shoulder pain are real problems for many people who use computers frequently. Check out the National Institute For Occupational Safety and Health, NIOSH and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's information on Ergonomics from the U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA, the U.S. Government's watchdogs on the situation, for statistics.
The fact is that many people are being hurt while computing. We are cramped in unnatural positions for long periods of time supporting our body weight in a way that, based on results, serves the computer and injures us. This does not have to continue. As with many things, a little common sense goes a long way.
Ergonomically correct keyboards and wrist rests put most of the upper body pressure on just the wrist, the part of the arm least capable of supporting it. The nicest thing we can say about the vast majority of ergonomic products on the market is that they are having no real effect on the problem of repetitive stress injuries because the injury numbers keep rising.
Common sense says that when the problem is stress, the solution is support. We solved the problem of repetitive stress injuries by strategically providing ample support to the painful areas created by unsupported computer use. By resting your hands, arms, elbows, upper arms and shoulders, the stress is reduced.
"After using CompUrest for a month, I could use my arms again.
Ten years later, the injuries never returned."

The Effective, Quick Fix Solution - The CompUrest Keyboard Stand
Battle lines are drawn over OSHA's ergonomic rules (OSHA Final Ergonomics Program Standard - Regulatory Text -November 2000).
Musculoskeletal disorders (repetitive stress injuries) are pitting employees against business against the government. If the new OSHA regulations are implemented, they're estimated to cost American businesses, who by law would have to foot the bill, from $18 billion to $120 billion annually. These regulations cover 102 million workers at six million worksites. Companies with more than ten employees will have to follow a three-page flow chart to keep up with the government-mandated procedures. An unnecessary administrative nightmare, at least for computer injuries.
We can delete computer injuries from the ergonomic war games and bring comfort to modern computing. What the government intended to do was create a safe, comfortable environment for workers suffering from repetitive stress injuries.
Common sense says that when the problem is repetitive stress, the solution is adequate, repetitive support. All we have to do is use low cost solutions that work. CompUrest has a way that uses splint technology to help the body heal itself.
The CompUrest keyboard stand is a patented US PATENT NO. 5,188,321 quick fix solution that comfortably supports forearms from fingers to neck. Also, CompUrest lowers the keyboard, allowing for a flattening of the carpal tunnel, eliminating the need to bend wrist and pinch nerves when computing. This configuration fully supports fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, elbows, upper arms and shoulders.
CompUrest is personal protective equipment based on sound medical principles.
As reported in the New York Times, "If you support the forearms and lower the keyboard, carpal tunnel syndrome disappears." said Melvin Rosenwasser, M.D. Hand, Microvascular & Trauma Surgery, Sports Medicine Columbia Presbyterian/Eastside, NY. Dr. Marvin J. Dainoff, Center for Ergonomic Research Miami University, Oxford, Ohio said "The ideal position of the wrist is flat and straight, which positions the hand level with the arm and extended in a straight line from it. Those who work with hands bent up, down or to the side risk damage to the wrist."
The choice is simple: Computer stress or CompUrest, the ultimate in safe, comfortable computing. With CompUrest, computer life just got a lot better.
