The Figure 2 Keyboard Platform allows the user to bring their body closer to the work surface. This posture allows the user's arms to hand loosely and naturally parallel to the upper body. The forearms can then be brought comfortably upward to the proper position without extending the arms forward. Many Ergonomists agree that this posture place the least strain on the arms, wrists, and upper body while keying. The size, shape and placement of the support pads on this keyboard tray is the result of an extensive collaboration with Ergonomists and Physical Therapists. The support pad design has been thoroughly tested, confirming that they provide a level of comfort and physiological benefit not found in typical wrist supports. The pads, intended to guide the forearms, not the wrists, are nearly twice the thickness of most other wrist support accessories. This added height more effectively maintains the wrist in the neutral position Ergonomists recommend and helps minimize extension of the wrist. Extension of the wrist and hand is believed to be a key contributor to the development of RSI's.
