To reduce the amount of force needed to complete repetitive movements with the arms, arm rests or wrist rests are the ideal solution. By placing the forearm in the rest, the arm and shoulder begins to move much more freely.
This is very beneficial to those users suffering with stiff and painful wrist, elbow and shoulder joints where the amount of force is reduced dramatically to where the arm almost feels like it is gliding. There is a broad range of movement in these armrests so they are not only suitable for mouse and keyboard work, they are extremely helpful for use when writing or drawing and for a wide range of other desk based activities.
