The work of Zhia (Zhia, Milgrim, Buxton, 1996) has shown that effectively designed computer mice that rely on all parts of the arm to work in synergy, with each limb segment performing the functions it does best, can outperform computer mice that rely solely on limb segments such as the shoulder. To create an ergonomic mouse with the highest degree of performance, the design should consider the difference between the limbs segments (hand, wrist, elbow & shoulder) in terms of their form, function and performance. Guest Post by Stephen Bowden BSc, Ergonomist with City Ergonomics The importance of precisionĬomfort, accuracy and productivity are some of the most important aspects of an ergonomic mouse design that users look for. We are becoming not unlike fiddler crabs in having unbalanced limbs and we tend to pay for this with tendonitis and other RS I conditions!
This posture often involves reaching out to some extent which exhausts particular tendons in your arm from shoulder to fingertips and distorts your body’s core stability around the upper back and chest with some muscles underused and wasting and others overused and exhausted. The danger for most people who use a mouse/touchpad is from the twisted arm posture that is maintained often for extended periods of time. This mouse is what Computer Posture regard as the best ergonomic mouse out there! Those who’ve seen BBC One “Breakfast”, may have noticed anchor-woman Naga Munchetty using a DXT02W. This design is quite different to other vertical mice and important reading for computer users before our Product Review…
Computer Posture welcome a guest post by Stephen Bowden a leading ergonomist who explains the design aspects of the DXT02W.
