The Wristthotic Chariot (also referred to as the invention) is a device designed to relieve the discomfort of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and wrist/arm Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) often caused by the utilization of the computer tracking device commonly referred to as the "mouse". When the mouse is use, it may, from time to time, cause the wrist to bend, stretch, receive pressure and experience repetitive motion. The invention enables the wrist to maintain a more neutral position to avoid such pronation, wrist extension and ulnar nerve deviation that may cause nerve irritation, tendon and muscle strain that often leads to RSI, the most common known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). The carpal tunnel is a small space in the wrist containing tendons, nerves and blood vessels which can become tingly and sore when stressed by repetitive finger use and extended (bent back) wrist posture. The invention is attached to an existing mouse's upper surface in the fashion similar to that of a chariot or buggy attached to a vehicle. The invention may be attached in two fashions: 1. Accessory: Via the use of a dome, suction cup or Velcro tm., so as to allow for the removal and adjustment of the invention as required or preferred by the user. 2. Mouse Extension: The invention can be fixed permanently to the mouse to create an elongated mouse that extends to the wrist area. The invention raises or elevates the wrist while the wrist is resting upon the invention's foam/plastic support which is elevated to a height of one half to 3 inches (1.5 to 8 centimeters). while laying on a flat surface or mouse pad While in this state of elevation the wrist is both supported and/or cushioned by the invention. Due to its attached nature, the invention moves with the mouse unlike prior art/conventional wrist rests/wrist bars that remain static. Such attachment of the invention to the mouse ensures the wrist remains in a more constant fixed position as the mouse is guided and maneuvered by the user.
