Background information on how to work in a comfortable position is provided, for example the positive effects of a slanted mouse (palm supporting area at an angle of 25° or 30°).
Forearm and shoulder muscle activity will reduce in this position.
Increasing the slanted angle will result in a larger wrist extension and thus higher muscle activity.
Working with hand and forearm at a suitable slanted angle provides a more neutral hand position, so forearm and shoulder muscle activity will be reduced.
This paper also addresses possible sources of carpal tunnel pressure (CTP).

Have you ever thought about the ergonomics of your computer mouse? It’s a tool we use daily, but few of us stop to consider its impact on our health. Let’s
In the world of modern technology, the computer mouse is a ubiquitous tool, essential for daily operations across the globe. However, not all mice are created equal, and the quest
This study addresses finger joint morphology and the effect on finger joints. The data addresses the use of finger joints while handling PC mice, especially flexing and extending the fingers.
Let’s talk about possible relevance for computer aided learning. Highly intense use of the finger, while handling the computer mouse, as in e-learning, may lead to hand- or finger complaints,
The use of forearm and hand support is associated with less shoulder muscle activity and shoulder torsion while palm support is associated with less wrist extension. This type of support
