Universal Forearm Support

Mounted onto a standard office desk, the Universal Forearm Support creates a gently curving inset at the front of the desk and comfortable support for both forearms. With the forearms resting on the Universal Forearm Support, the smaller muscles of the upper back and shoulders no longer have to carry the weight, helping to reduce fatigue, inflammation, and pain in these muscle groups. The unique, asymetric shape of the Universal Forearm Support is designed primarily for right-handed users, but the support can also work well for those who use a central pointing device such as a RollerMouse or Mousetrapper.

The Universal Forearm Support features European styling and craftsmanship and tool-free installation. The surface is composed of a polyurethane foam pad covered with supple imitation leather. The foam cushioning helps to prevent injury to pressure-sensitive areas on the inside of the arm, and the imitation leather cover offers frictionless movement. The cover can be cleaned and disinfected as necessary.

Those who use low-profile keyboards may wish to consider the Slimline Forearm Support Pro which has slim profile better suited to these thinner keyboards.

Included steel brackets and winged bolts clamp the Universal Forearm Support securely to any desk or table up to 1.0" thick, and a plate steel base ensures overall strength and rigidity.

There are now two models of the Universal Forearm Support to better accommodate the full range of keyboard heights. The new SLIMLINE Forearm Support PRO offers a noticeably lower profile, at just 0.43" in height it is well-suited for use with lower profile keyboards. The lower profile is accommodated by a layer of higher density foam than that on the basic model. The firm foam still provides sufficient cushioning when the arms and palms are being rested. Those who use lower-profile keyboards may wish to consider the SLIMLINE Forearm Support PRO. The Slimline Pro also has an improved and wider range of mounting options.

Note: Arm and hand support solutions which elevate the hand above the mousing surface can subtly change hand placement on some specialized mousing devices, potentially affecting the manner in which the user interacts with the devices and possibly limiting the ergonomic benefits generally associated with them. With some products these changes may be more significant than with others. Please call to speak with a Customer Service Specialist to discuss the compatibility of this product with the intended pointing device.

• Asymmetric Design: Right-handed users will appreciate the extra forearm support when mousing as well as keyboarding.
• Slender Design: The Universal Forearm Support narrows to under 2" to minimize any reach to the keyboard, enabling users to position themselves as close as possible.
• Soft Cushioning: Polyurethane foam padding ensures that the forearms rest on no sharp edges or pressure points. The supple, imitation leather cover minimizes friction when moving across the surface.
• Two Profile Options: The two models of the Universal Forearm Support let users choose a model that best matches their keyboard height. The 410390 is just over 0.75" thick (before compression) and works best with the higher profile of traditional and mechanical keyboards. The SLIMLINE Forearm Support PRO (410395) is just 0.43" thick and is better suited to deployment where thin laptop-style or lower-profile keyboards are in use.
• Tool-Free Mounting: The Universal Forearm Support is equipped with steel brackets that are secured to the worksurface with included hand-tightening winged bolts. The SLIMLINE model has an improved mounting system that offers greater adjustability.
• Easy to Clean: The imitation leather surface can easily be wiped down or disinfected with many common cleaners.

• Choose the Universal Forearm Support that best matches your keyboard's height profile. This will ensure that you minimize the potential for Wrist Extension and ensure that the support is neither too high nor too low for the keyboard.
• Avoid using the Universal Forearm Support with non-standard keyboards. If your keyboard has a curved front edge, or has integrated palm supports, you will likely find that you have to reach too far forward to access the keys, creating tension in the muscles of the back, shoulders and neck. Attempting to use the Universal Forearm Support with a non-standard keyboard risks recreating one of the problems the product was designed to address.
• Use the front mounting position. The Universal Forearm Support can be mounted in two positions. The majority of users would benefit from having the support mounted fully over the edge of the desk (i.e. with very little overhang.) This position provides the greatest stability and allows the user to be positioned as close as possible to the desk.
• Use the Universal Forearm Support as intended. Do not attempt to brace yourself against the support to lift yourself out of your chair.
