Hand-shake a Mouse! Vertical Mouse an Ergonomic Support
The Evoluent Vertical Mouse I stumbled across this great idea and thought I would share. I haver tendonitis in my forearm and I am thinking this might help.
Hi Lon. If your tendonitis is in your mouse hand, I'm betting the best method to reduce it is to re-evaluate pointer usage entirely with that hand. More keyboard shortcuts, more breaks, move mouse to the other side, use speech input...I've gone through this myself and helped others as well. We have one of these mice in our lab and it's a good idea for when things get back to normal. Good luck and thanks for the blog!
Thanks Dan, I use my touch pad most of the time and text on my iPhone and do email. I will take your advice and see how I can relieve the situation. Love the mouse... Lon

I am an educator and an assistive technology specialist and trainer. I combine success principles and motivational methods with goal setting, planning and assistive technology to help people overcome barriers. This is a main passion.
I also have a background in Christian ministries and graduated from George Fox College. I served with Youth With a Mission and was a keyboardist playing with Maranatha artists, Integrity Hosanna, Hillsong, Last Days Ministries and Jimmy and Carol Owens. My wife and I run a retreat center in Eastern Oregon.
All the best to you!
