Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2007Time to unplug the Parabath?
I love my Parabath. Dipping my hands in the warm wax when they hurt from using the mouse on my PC. The only thing I don't like about the Parabath is the cost of running it. I'm just wondering what others here think about this gadget? "The USB Warmer Mouse II looks and feels like any generic two-button mouse, but the difference is a heating mechanism that can warm its surface temperature. There's no software included, nor should there be. It's plug-and-play and is compatible with nearly all versions of Windows after Windows 95." "The mouse can be yours for a mere $23" Article: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2095115,00.asp Product: http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00210&dept_id=015&cat_id=037 http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00219&cat_id=037&dept_id=015  SignatureKendall F.

I don't plan on buying one, I just thought it was pretty cool. I get a catalog in the mail (Cyberguys.com) that has lots of those USB powered gadgets, but I hadn't seen one of those mice.

How you set up your computer table may also effect your arms and hands, if your arms and hands are relaxed, they may not cramp/hurt as much (and wearing fingerless bicycle or lifting gloves may keep your hands warm while letting you use your fingers naturally). I have a low bookcase at right angles to my computer desk and a two inches higher. I took a gel keyboard wrist rest and placed it on top of the bookcase so I can rest my arm on it with my hand draped over the mouse. By keeping my arm higher than the mouse the wrist is in a more natural position (no carpel tunnel stress) and since it is fully supported the shoulder and arm muscles are relaxed. I also keep the keyboard low and the armrests on my chair high enough that I can rest my elbows on the rests while typing. Some people rest the keyboard on their laps so the arms are in a more natural position. It also helps to have the keyboard either flat or tipped away from you so that your wrists are in a natural position and not bent back. > How you set up your computer table may also effect your arms and > hands, if your arms and hands are relaxed, they may not cramp/hurt as [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > away from you so that your wrists are in a natural position and not > bent back.
