Surfin-EZ directly related to the inherent advantages of its patented design:
- decreases the potential for muscle/joint fatigue and the propensity for repetitive motion injury in combination with its additional engineered in user benefits of note.
- intuitive change of position: the mouse in combination with the surfin-ez platform tend to become “one integrated unit” in the mind/hand of the user.
- the patented elevated platform design has been determined to be truly ergonomic due to the fact that the platform, when used on a desk… is elevated 3/4″ above the surface of your desk; therefore, anatomically encouraging a more planar or extended position of the user’s wrist.
- This engineered mechanical advantage “helps” to limit the propensity for flexion of the wrist and the associated compression of the median nerve which passes through the anatomy of the Carpal Tunnel.
*** key point This is especially true in an ongoing occupational setting. (see our educational video on carpal tunnel syndrome risk factors here)
- the user consequent to this, tends to change position “intuitively”; which provides this additional key “engineered in” ergonomic benefit when discussing the avoidance of repetitive motion injury (RMI) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
