Ergonomics Made Simple

 

 

The Solution To
Repetitive
Stress Injuries

Is Ample,
Comfortable
Repetitive Support

"I've been typing for
almost 40 years
with speeds
as fast as 119 wpm.,
and I've had
every computer injury
in the book except a brain tumor.

My repetitive stress injuries
were healed within 30 days 
by using a
CompUrest,
U.S. Patent No. 5,188,321,
which supports
my upper body while
lowering my keyboard
allowing splint technology
to do its job.

CompUrest has kept me
from having to have 
carpal tunnel surgery on my wrists, 
dramatically reduced my neck,
back and shoulder pain, 
eliminated the late night and day
 

computer injury pain 
in my arms, neck and shoulders, 
and afforded me years of pain free computing.

12 years later, with regular use, the injuries never returned."

J. Nayer Hardin

 

THE PROBLEM  
Industrial Athletes get injured 

We put computers in today's environments 
like they are typewriters in yesterday's office.  
They are not.  

I was injuring my body during the decades of traditional computer use by:

Shoulders Drooping
and Rotating While Holding Arms In Place

Neck Bent and Moving
From Paper To Monitor To The Keyboard.

Back Bent Toward The Keyboard, Resulting In Bad Posture.

Fingers Tensed With Nerves and Muscles Pinched While Passing Through The Carpal Tunnel

Arms Unsupported and
Stressed For Long Periods Of Time

Wrists Bent Putting Pressure On Nerves

Minimal Posture Support

Hands Curved and Tensed At The Same Time

For more information go to www.compurest.com

OSHA reports:

"The fingers of a typist may exert up to 25 tons of force each day!"

CompUrest provides extraordinary usability
"Usability is a combination of factors that effect the user’s experience with the product." 

AILMENTS, CAUSE AND EFFECT

Ailment/Benefit Cause Effect
Repetitive Stress Injuries

CompUrest provides comfortable support where there is stress

Hours of repetitive data entry  motion while the body is strained to hold flying fingers in place  Razor sharp pains in arms, back and shoulders
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

CompUrest keeps wrists flat, straight and supported

Bent wrists during data entry pinching on nerves and tendons passing through the carpal tunnel. Loss of the use of ones hands.  Constant pain with 'hot shots' running through.
Osteo arthritis 

CompUrest anchors the body straight, reducing wear & tear

Wear and tear on joints and nerves as in moving the torso to better view the monitor, keyboard and paper Crippling arthritic pain that can cause paralysis, aches and pains.
Neck, back and shoulder injuries felt late into the night, sometimes even waking a person up.

CompUrest supports good posture.

Unsupported posture and too much stress on upper body to support data entry creates stress and strain that chronically injures the body  Loss of quality of life, intense sharp pains, loss of ability to walk from putting the spine out of alignment, chronic pain.  
Computer Eye Strain

CompUrest helps maintain almost  2' distance from the monitor while adding color and texture

Too Close To Monitor.  Failure to blink enough due to too much time looking at the monitor. Headaches, Tired Eyes, Dry Eyes, Red Eyes

THE SOLUTION

CompUrest Keyboard Stand
Effective Ergonomic Design

U.S. Patent No. 5,188,321

Provide Ample Support Where There Is Stress

CompUrest
Support

Solid Oak or Plastic Base and Border Casing

Soft foam armrest or 
dramatically less expensive all plastic model

Fingers

Your fingers rest on the keyboard,
positioned or suspended over the keys.

This eliminates the need 
to reach up with bent wrists to press keys.

Hands

Your hands are naturally arched,
supported by your fingers and palms, 
free to move as needed without restriction.

Wrists


Lowered Keyboard 
Eliminates Bending Your Wrists

Your wrists relax, flat and straight,
reducing pinched nerves through the carpal tunnel. 
 

Armrest


Supports Upper Body, Neck and shoulders 
 

Forearms


Your armrest completely supports 
your arms from wrists to elbows.  

 Traditional computer use 
suspends your arms in mid air, 
held tightly in place, supported by 
upper arms, neck and shoulders.

The armrest supports much of 
your upper body weight,
reducing stress while fingers 
go flying over keys.
 

Elbows

 

Your elbows rest supported 
removing stress from your 
upper arms, shoulders and neck.  

The center indentation 
allows you to sit into the armrest 
and keeps your elbows 
comfortably at your side.

Rest Your Arms On A CompUrest And Enjoy the Comfort 

Upper arms

Your upper arms are relieved
from holding your
forearms, wrists, hands and fingers in place.

This evolutionary ergonomic design
allows a more natural positioning, 
upper arms and elbows at your sides.

Shoulders

Shoulders place most of their weight 
on supported upper arms, relaxed

Neck

Relieved from supporting shoulders 

Posture

Armrest supports your upper body 
using splint technology

The comfortable good posture 
that CompUrest provides 
reduces your back pain 
by keeping your back straighter than without it.

 

When the cause, the stress, is removed, 
the effect, the pain,
can heal in as little as 30 days of regular use.
