Benefits of technology

[0012]Another method unlike most or all other devices of similar uses, this device allows a user to insert their wrist within the device either palms down as explained above or their wrist rotated ninety degrees clockwise for the right hand and then turn counter clockwise to be engaged for use of the device. This is a preferred method to utilize the devi

Problems solved by technology

Prolonged use of primarily computer devices such as a mouse or keyboard for an extensive period of time can cause repetitive restriction in a persons wrist which could lead to various stages or carpal tunnel syndrome.
The result may be pain, weakness, or numbness in the hand and wrist, radiating up the arm.
It is in most cases, products that support the wrist for ergonomic reasons where the devises are stationary

Embodiment Construction

[0026]A wearable wrist cushion device that allows for maximum mobility and sufficient support for use by typists, computer users and others susceptible or at risk of suffering from repetitive strain injury. Other medical diagnosed injuries associated with prolonged use of a computer mouse and keyboard is carpal tunnel syndrome.

[0027]The wearable wrist cushion support device FIG. 1 moves with the user's wrist and stays in proper position on the wrist during typing and computer mouse use. The use of this device is designed to move freely remaining parallel to the tendons in the users wrist as shown in FIGS. 9 & 10 and slide along a surface with Teflon or similar type materials 12 attached to the bottom of the device for minimizing friction.

[0028]The sizing of the device will be designed for at least two sizes but not limited to two different sizes. Since the circumference of womens and mens wrist vary greatly as well as users of teenagers there is a greater need to accommodate the sup...
