Articulating Desk-Mounted Forearm Support for Mouse Pain Relief

The ErgoRest Ergonomic Forearm Support is the original articulating arm rest that eliminates mouse-related shoulder pain, neck strain, and wrist discomfort—providing dynamic forearm support that moves with you, reducing muscle tension by up to 70% during extended computer work.

Why ErgoRest Transforms Mouse Work Comfort

• Articulating Design Moves With You: Patented multi-axis articulation follows natural arm movement, providing continuous support without restricting motion or creating static positioning
• Eliminates Shoulder Elevation: Supports full weight of forearm, eliminating the chronic shoulder elevation that causes pain, tension, and fatigue during mouse-intensive work
• Desk-Mounted Stability: Secure clamp mounting provides stable support without taking up valuable desk space or interfering with keyboard positioning
• Adjustable Height & Reach: Customize positioning to match your exact arm length, desk height, and working posture for optimal ergonomic alignment
• 30+ Years Trusted: The original and most trusted articulating forearm support, recommended by ergonomists worldwide since 1990

Clinical Benefits for Mouse-Intensive Work

Mouse work requires holding your arm unsupported in mid-air for hours daily, creating chronic muscle tension in shoulders, neck, and upper back. This static muscle loading causes pain, fatigue, and repetitive strain injuries. The ErgoRest supports the full weight of your forearm (approximately 8-10 lbs), eliminating shoulder elevation and reducing muscle tension by up to 70%. The articulating design allows natural movement while maintaining continuous support, preventing the static positioning that causes discomfort.

Trusted by Medical Professionals

Recommended by occupational therapists, ergonomists, and hand surgeons for preventing and treating mouse-related shoulder pain, neck strain, and upper extremity disorders. The ErgoRest is the standard forearm support in thousands of corporate ergonomics programs, government agencies, and healthcare facilities worldwide. Over 30 years of clinical use has proven its effectiveness for eliminating mouse-related pain.

Who It's Built For

Essential for graphic designers, CAD operators, video editors, programmers, and anyone performing mouse-intensive work 4+ hours daily. Ideal for users experiencing shoulder pain, neck tension, or upper back strain from prolonged mouse use. Perfect for professionals recovering from shoulder injuries, rotator cuff issues, or upper extremity RSI who need to continue working without aggravating symptoms. Particularly effective for users who have tried wrist rests but still experience shoulder and neck pain (because wrist rests don't address shoulder elevation).

How Articulating Support Works

The ErgoRest's patented multi-axis articulation allows your arm to move naturally in all directions while maintaining continuous support. Unlike fixed arm rests that restrict movement or create awkward positioning, the ErgoRest follows your arm through its full range of motion—reaching for mouse, typing on keyboard, or adjusting position. This dynamic support eliminates shoulder elevation without creating the static positioning problems of fixed supports.

Standard vs. Long Arm Length

Standard (12" arm): Most users, average arm length, standard desk configurations. Provides 12 inches of horizontal reach from mounting point.

Long (16" arm): Taller users, longer arms, wide desks, or users who need extended reach. Provides 16 inches of horizontal reach for optimal positioning on large workstations.

Installation & Positioning Guide

Mount ErgoRest clamp to desk edge near mouse area. Adjust height so forearm rests comfortably on pad when elbow is at 90° angle. Adjust horizontal reach so arm pad supports forearm from elbow to wrist without restricting movement. The articulating mechanism should move smoothly—adjust tension if needed. Your shoulder should feel relaxed (not elevated) when arm rests on support. Installation takes 10-15 minutes.

Eliminates Shoulder Elevation & Tension

Unsupported mouse work forces you to hold your arm elevated for hours daily, creating chronic tension in shoulder, neck, and upper back muscles. This static muscle loading causes pain, fatigue, and trigger points that radiate discomfort throughout upper body. The ErgoRest eliminates this tension by supporting full arm weight, allowing shoulder muscles to relax completely during mouse work. Users report dramatic reduction in shoulder and neck pain within 2-3 weeks of consistent use.

Perfect for Mouse-Intensive Professions

• Graphic Designers: Eliminate shoulder fatigue during marathon design sessions
• CAD Operators: Reduce neck and shoulder strain during detailed drafting work
• Video Editors: Support arm during extended editing sessions with precise mouse control
• Programmers: Prevent shoulder elevation during code review and debugging
• Office Professionals: Eliminate mouse-related shoulder pain from daily computer work

Why ErgoRest vs. Wrist Rests

Wrist rests only support the wrist, leaving your arm and shoulder unsupported and elevated. This doesn't address the primary cause of mouse-related pain—shoulder elevation and muscle tension. The ErgoRest supports the entire forearm from elbow to wrist, eliminating shoulder elevation and providing the comprehensive support needed to prevent upper body pain. Many users who found wrist rests ineffective experience dramatic relief with ErgoRest's full forearm support.

Adaptation Period

Most users adapt to forearm support within 2-3 days. The ErgoRest feels different initially because your shoulder muscles are accustomed to holding your arm elevated. Start with 30-60 minute sessions and gradually increase usage. Adjust positioning if you experience any discomfort—proper positioning should feel effortless and relaxing. Pain relief typically begins within the first week, with maximum benefit achieved after 2-3 weeks of consistent use.

Desk Compatibility

Clamp mounting fits desks 0.75"-2.5" thick, including:

• Standard Office Desks: Most commercial office furniture
• Sit-Stand Desks: Moves with desk during height adjustments
• Home Office Desks: Compatible with most residential desk designs
• Workstations: Cubicle panels and modular furniture (check thickness)

Maintenance & Care

Remove arm pad cover and machine wash as needed. Wipe articulating mechanism with damp cloth to remove dust. Periodically check mounting clamp and tighten if needed. The durable aluminum and steel construction maintains smooth articulation through years of daily use. Adjust tension on articulating joints if movement becomes too loose or too stiff.

Why ErgoRest is the Original & Best

ErgoRest invented the articulating forearm support in 1990 and has refined the design through 30+ years of clinical feedback and ergonomic research. Unlike generic imitations, the ErgoRest features precision-engineered articulation that moves smoothly through full range of motion, durable construction that withstands years of daily use, and proven effectiveness documented in thousands of workplace ergonomics programs worldwide.

ErgoRest has been the trusted leader in articulating forearm supports since 1990, with proven reliability in corporate, government, and healthcare environments worldwide.

Investment in Shoulder & Neck Health

While the ErgoRest represents a significant investment, the elimination of chronic shoulder pain, neck tension, and upper back strain makes it essential for mouse-intensive professionals. Thousands of users have avoided costly physical therapy, chiropractic treatments, and lost productivity by investing in proper forearm support that addresses the root cause of mouse-related pain.
