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

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

You have to decide where you want your elbow to be and bend into position. There was no discernable indication. I love mine and I searched for a long time.

Try it. It can't hurt. I use it when my wrist is bothering me when I play tennis.

The lowest position is pretty level with the table. Depending where you rest your arm, you can raise the palm of your hand about an inch off the table. The device itself raises up 4 or 5 inches. It's pretty awkward when it's raised. edit: I didn't twist the screw all the way up to test. Amr is probably right with 2-3 inches.

Hi there! I am 5' 4'' and I found the mouse pad to be entirely too high and so removed it. The arm rest part itself is fine, although now I have to compensate for the little metal post that sticks up where the mouse pad is supposed to go. I recommend getting the one without the mouse pad. After that, it's just a matter of attaching the device to your desk.

Your thumbs, which work the roller part of the roller mouse, might be too far away if you're using one of those keyboards that slope upward. It may still be better than a regular mouse that you have to reach for. I hope that helps.

It's more comfortable than typing with your laptop flat on a table or desk. But you can try it yourself. Elevate the back of your laptop just two inches (measuring from the tabletop to the bottom of your laptop will give you the angle you'll get). A book will work. Then type for a few minutes. If the angle isn't comfortable to you, look for something adjustable or with a lttle less tilt.

There is room for a built in wrist rest or gel pad for your wrist. User said it didn't seem to make a difference. She no longer uses it because she operates a switch board a computer and tends to move around a lot...so it was not convenient to be moving the tray on and off the chair arm rests every time she needed to do something other than operate her computer. She also said that it gave her the feeling of being in a [and i quote] "high chair!"

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.

I had my husband line it up next to the end of the couch. I then stood up and used the arm of the couch to steady me. I swung my bad foot over the seat and sat down. took practice. got off the same way. rode to the arm of the couch and used it like a crutch. good luck!

I'm not sure. I was having issues with my elbow and so I got this mouse to help with relieving pressure and "correct" my hand position. Prior to this I used a trackball mouse.

I am sitting at the monitor right now. Grabbing one side to adjust it is relative easy, but I agree with one of the other responders, making the adjustment is safer with 2 hands.

once you get the height set for you , your arms control the balance. when you raise your arms up you invert, put your arms by your side and you get upright again. it takes a few tries to get it right but the handle bars makes it easy enought to get upright. tip: start out bottom heavy and 20 degree setting until you get comfortable then adjust from there.good luck and i hope you enjoy the inversion table, it worked wonders for me

You could with arms straight, and elbows locked. May be hard to prevent swinging. If you rested on your elbows with arm in 90 degree position, you would likely hurt elbow/lower arms.

It is very hard to straighten....maybe a thinner gauge would work, but not this one.....unless you really have muscle power.
