I'm looking to help straighten my elbow with mouse & close in phone work. I raised my chair so elbow above wrist now but... ideas?

My suggestion to you is make sure you aren't rotating your elbow inward against your side, allow your arm to relax.

this particular brace is not suited for your application, you need something stiffer

You might try using an angle iron, something with a 90* bend. The arm is solid and you'll like it if you can secure to the floor.

There is no adjustment for that exercise, but if you slide your arm down you surely can do finger curls. I just tried it. Happy exercising, and thanks for the suggestion, my fingers and grip love you for it!

I suffer from tennis elbow due to years of working out (mostly from weighted chin-ups). Although I use these to stabilize my wrists during heavy barbell exercises, I do not consider them therapeutic for my elbows. However, I discovered that regular foam rolling during warm-ups works great. I recommend gently rolling the pain points of the elbow joints before and after workouts. If you dont have one, just use a cylinder pad from a leg curl machine.

You can do wrist curls without the blocks getting in the way. Also, with something like tricep extensions, you just hold the out side of the block instead of by the inner handle. There have only been a couple of things that have been a little awkward for me, but I just adjust the way I'm holding them a little bit and they work just fine.

I found it extremely useful and not overkill. I had a cast on my right arm and couldn't put my hands close together on a standard keyboard. This enabled me to turn the halves to face in the direction I needed for comfort.

Stand behind the chair bend forward place hands on either side of the seat & lift up

You can use it perpendicular. Do you have a similar muse to this type? If you've never used a mouse of this type then I would say its vertical enough for people. Its not 90 degree s perpendicular but neither is natural wrist position. No need to over think $9

It is called elbow grease. The action of you bending over, yes thats what I said, bending over the ramp and firmly grasping with your hand and with all the power, yes elbow power, lift the ramp to the upright position. You have now powered the manual lift ramp to the up position under power.

As long as your desk is at a comfortable height I don't see why it would be any problem for a short person. The arm swings such that it can take in any radius from zero (right on top of the clamp) to it's maximum length (about 1 foot). Your elbow or forearm travels in the pad rest. I have mine positioned between 2 computers and can use it for mousing on both of them without relocating the arm rest. The rest is good for both mousing and keyboard. I tend to slide from by forearm for mousing to my elbow for keyboarding. That's probably because I am using it on two computers at once.

Oddly, enough, try cutting a thumb hole and the top off a small sock in a way where the sock is just beyond the outside of the wrist brace so no part of the wrist brace is actually touching your skin. This will allow extra padding on the palm and avoid irritating the skin. This also allows for a methol rub to be applied to the wrist without gunking up the brace. Worked for me

brace forearms on handles and pull up on the seat. It is stiff! :) Good luck!

I was wondering about using on the left hand? I use a regular mouse now on the left hand, any reason why it wouldn't work? Also anchored models or similar makes? Thanks for the help. Just my left elbow bothers me with the regular mouse.

I put face on the INSIDE of my wrist. Bend arm to 45 degree angle and suspend it in air. Do not rest it on an object. I love the convenience of this type.

It didn't really work very well for me. I had tennis elbow. You might be better off trying some Salonpas gel.

I've used elbows at 90 degrees, with forearms parallel to the ground. This has worked well for me.

cramping in your hands is not from the mouse, its from the angle your wrists is to the desk.your wrist should always be above your mouse.
