Ergonomic armrests "ErgoRest"
At the beginning of this year, I happened to visit a small exhibition of technological devices designed to help people work with computers. The exhibition was held on the territory of the Holon Institute of Technology ( "HIT" ) and was of an introductory nature.
Most of the products presented were designed for people with disabilities. Some of them are so innovative that they pave the way for future developments of entire computer areas. Among the developments presented to the public were such devices that I myself would not refuse to install in my house. Today I would like to talk about one of them - the ergonomic armrests of the Finnish company ErgoRest .
According to the developers, their main goal was “to develop a device that would effectively solve the problem of excessive workload of muscles in the back, neck and arms of a person working at a computer.” After talking with Israeli distributors, I realized that the armrest should help first people suffering from diseases of the hands. Surely, many of you have heard about the so-called carpal tunnel syndrome , better known among the people as "carpal tunnel syndrome . "
Perhaps the armrests have become one of the favorites of the exhibition, so it was not difficult to shoot a video of people experiencing them. I myself, having finished the photo and video shooting of the most interesting products, put aside the equipment and began to test the device myself. Most of all it was imbued with the armrests, so naturally they follow the hand that you do not understand why they are not used everywhere. The answer to this question loomed by itself when I found out about the price of the product. At that time, one armrest was offered at a price equivalent to $ 100. Not the cheapest solution.
The test impressions are pleasant. Hand movements are natural and to some extent even inert. The armrest by inertia continues to move in the direction of the hand and in this way the impression of flying is created. )) True, after ten minutes of flight, when other visitors to the exhibition began to resent, I came to the conclusion that, in part, the movements are still constraining. But this feeling arose not because of the impossibility of the armrest turning at the right angle, in the right direction, but because sometimes you just need to remove your hand from it and make an independent movement of the hand. And since I do not want to do this at all, such impressions are born. )))
In general, I concluded for myself that as I can afford to freely manage my finances, I will return to the question of acquiring such an armrest. The gadget came out very pleasant, and if you also consider that it is healthy, it makes you think about purchasing it.
And for a snack a small movie from the exhibition. Sorry for the quality - RuTube cut everything you can.
He turned a fifty-megabyte video into 2 megabytes of low-quality, moving pictures.
PS In the process of writing the article, I found the Russian representative office of ErgoRest.
