With a mouse that doesn't fully supports your hand, like a standard mouse or a vertical mouse, you run the risk
of Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome orGuyon’s Canal Syndrome.
Two separate parts of the hand can be affected: the little and ring finger and the remaining part of the hand.
The full support by the HandShoe Mouse helps to prevent this.
full support by the HandShoe Mouse
"Reaching for your mouse" without the support of your forearm, or using a mouse that doesn't fully supports your
hand, forces your wrist in an awkward bent position which may lead to serious neural effects.
Excessive pressure on the median and ulnar nerves, which control your hand and fingers, will first be
noticed by a feeling of pins and needles in the fingers, followed by loss of sensation and even burning pain.
This is generally called carpal tunnel syndrome.
Two separate parts of the hand can be affected: pinky plus ring finger and the remaining part of the hand.

A minute bone, the pisiform, acts like a protecting shield. So if you push your hand on the desk and force it in a

Working from the wrist and pressing down on the desktop can increase this risk. The special shape of the
HandShoe Mouse provides full support of the hand and fingers to prevent these complaints.
The Dutch medical Erasmus university developed the HandShoe Mouse especially to prevent people getting Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome and Repetitive Strain Injury. More Research information can be found on the Research Page.
Recently a new standard was set with the Light Click buttons of the HandShoe Mouse which also helps people who are
already suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or RSI.
