  • All I know is I can immediately feel my wrist straining to twist to a horizontal position at all, but a vertical position (palms inward, diagonal) is significantly more comfortable for me. And I have no repetitive strain injury.

    Also, the study claims ergonomic mouse devices don’t help CTS patients, that is, patients who already suffer from CTS. This does not rule out their ability to prevent CTS or other repetitive strain.

    Third point, the sample size is only 21 people, so IMO, that’s a somewhat weak study, although it does appear to be peer reviewed in a journal relevant to the topic, which is good.

    And last, there are at least 4 different wrist repetitive strain injuries that exist. Carpal tunnel is only the most well known.

    I’d like to see a long term study with a more significant population of non CTS sufferers in which they check if switching to ergonomic mice or adding a wrist rest for mouse usage earlier in life can lower the chance to develop CTS or repetitive wrist strain generally. I also wonder if mouse grip style affects anything (claw grip, etc).
