Abstract

A stress-free, ergonomically designed, computer workstation module (10) universally adaptable to most keyboards and mice comprises a shaped cutout extending toward the operator providing comfortable support to forearms and wrists. A telescoping sub-tray (16) extending from under an upper planar member cooperates hingingly and slidingly with an adjustable slope tray (22) for supporting a keyboard. The device provides a bio-mechanically sound position for centrally locating a computer mouse. The invention provides a proven efficient, and economical approach to the problems associated with carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar deviation.
