The Handy Forearm Support is a deceptively simple, sturdy, vinyl covered platform with a padded surface which gives excellent user comfort. This is one of the most underrated and best loved of the ergonomic products that we sell. It acts as a desk extension which comfortably supports the user's forearms whilst using keyboard and mouse, reducing strain on shoulder and neck muscles. Two steel, powder coated supports cantilever the forearm support on the edge of the desk so that it can be attached or removed in seconds. The inward curve of the front edge allows the user to sit very close to the desk with the full forearm supported. This offers much more comfortable support than the arms of an office chair. The black, leather-grain vinyl surface is easy to wipe clean.

The significant benefits of using forearm supports have been detailed in journals such as the British Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 18-Apr-2006*.

The Handy Forearm Support measures 675mm in width, 235mm (max), 125mm (min) in depth and is approximately 22mm thick. The support arms can be adjusted for desk tops of between 20-28mm, although thicker tops can be accommodated by using spacers and longer M6 machine screws (not supplied but available to order).
