(PRWEB) July 22, 2004 -- A new pistol grip shaped, handheld mouse by ErgoLogical of Dallas, TX., may prevent or reduce RSI (repetitive stress injuries), carpal tunnel syndrome, fatigue and other ailments commonly caused by usage of a computer mouse and or gaming controller. The new ergonomic pistol grip mouse provides pain and stress relief to those suffering with RSI and arthritis by the unique handheld ergonomic design. You do not need to place this device on a surface to work it is handheld and can be used in just about any position you like. The best ergonomic position for your hand is achieved by placing your arm to your side, then relaxing your hand. The pistol grip design allows the mouse to fit comfortably in your hand and requires very little effort to operate. Ease of use also reduces muscle and movement effort, maximizes comfort and provides the ability to move naturally thus greatly minimizing strain and stress.
RSI insurance claims costs insurance companies an average of about $65,000 per claim in benefits and medical bills. The new innovative ergonomic devices are a welcomed tool to the computer, gaming, medical and insurance industries. The pistol grip like hand controllers designed by Ergonomic Engineer and Inventor, William Baker will greatly reduce the development of RSI and other stress and musculoskeletal injuries at home and in the workplace. The hand held mouse is also easier to use for people with arthritis as it may very well even be great therapy for arthritis according to Mr. Baker who also suffers from arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome and has personally benefited from the new devices and is excited to share the benefits with the global community that this affects.
The advice from doctors and ergonomic specialists for mouse users and game controller users has been to limit use to 10 or 15 minute intervals with 5 to 10 minute breaks. With the ErgoPointer you do not experience the heavy stress and fatigue that one experiences from using a mouse thus extending and improving overall productivity. Employers will also benefit by the reduction of RSI claims, increased productivity and employee morale.
