Assistive technology (AT) is a generic term that includes assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities and includes the process used in selecting, locating, and using them. Assistive technology promotes greater independence by enabling people to perform tasks that they were formerly unable to accomplish, or had great difficulty accomplishing, by providing enhancements to or changed methods of interacting with the technology needed to accomplish suck tasks.
A piece of assistive technology i have chosen to talk about is called an 'Ergo Rest Arm Rest'.
An Ergo Rest Arm Rest is an ergonomically designed, adjustable forearm support rest which attaches to the front of the desk. Suitable for left and right-handed use. They cost $49.99 and can come in different size depending on the arm size.
The Ergo Rest comes in two clamp styles to fit desks of different thicknesses: the shallow clamp fits desks between 15-43mm from desk top to underside. The deep clamp option is for desks which have a thickness of between 34-64mm.
It is specially designed for either office and industrial use, such as data terminal and light factory assembling tasks. Ergo Rest is lightweight and easily moveable. The support is made of aluminum alloy and polyamide, and the mouse pad is upholstered with genuine leather.
Easy to install, the Ergo Rest Arm Rest just clamps onto the front of existing desk with a G clamp type fitting and adjusts it position to suit the user's ergonomic requirements. This Ergo Rest forearm support has a separate mouse pad platform for flexible wrist support beside the keyboard.
The Ergo Rest provides particular to mouse users and it can relieve repetitive strain disorders since support is provided away from the wrist to avoid any pressure points in sensitive areas. It also helps prevent muscle fatigue in the neck and shoulders. Additional height adjustment for specific tasks that require wrist support at unusual heights.
