Hi RoGeReM,
Judy cannot work on the PC because of her
carpel tunnel syndrome. Hopefully she can
find a way around that.
Her site seems to be down.

A brief explanation about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
JackG I came up with this: http://www.fentek-ind.com/ergo.htm
And for those who don't know what Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is:
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure exerted on the median nerve at the wrist. The median nerve supplies sensation to the thumb-side of the palm, and to the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and the thumb-side of the ring finger. It also supplies movement to part of the hand. The nerve enters the hand through a gap formed by the wrist bones (called the carpal bones) and the tough membrane that holds the bones together (the transverse carpal ligament). This gap is called the carpal tunnel. The passageway is rigid, so swelling of any of the tissues in this area can cause compression of the nerve (this is also called entrapment of the nerve).
The condition occurs most often in women 30 to 60 years old, but it also occurs in men and in all age groups. Some of the conditions associated with carpal tunnel syndrome include pregnancy, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and menopause; this is probably because of hormone changes that cause fluid retention and swelling of the tissues. Other conditions associated with carpal tunnel syndrome include rheumatoid arthritis, renal failure, diabetes mellitus, acromegaly, hypothyroidism, multiple myeloma, obesity, recent tuberculosis, fungal infection, and high blood pressure. Injury or trauma to the area, including (but not limited to) repetitive movement of the wrists, can cause swelling of the tissues and carpal tunnel syndrome. This injury may be from sports such as racquetball and handball, or from sewing, typing, driving, assembly-line work, painting, writing, use of tools (especially hand tools or tools that vibrate), or similar activities.
Symptoms
*weakness in 1 or both hands
*numbness or tingling in the thumb and next 2 or 3 fingers of 1 or both hands
*numbness or tingling of the palm of the hand
*joint pain (wrist pain) in 1 or both hands can occur
*impaired fine finger movements in 1 or both hands
*weak grip, difficulty bringing the thumb across the palm to meet the other fingers (thumb opposition)

Thanks for letting us know Enigma.
Do you think that a keyboard like that would help her?

That depends JackG on what other measurments she takes. I know she probably also has to wear special medical wrist bands for that type of Syndrome if she does type.

I think this keyboard will help out excessively though to prevent pain in the wrists. Even though I believe the best solution is hardly not to type at all, cause let me tell you, the pain is too over bearing.
I mean, I don't have that syndrome, but when I type alot, my wrists fingers hurt. I could only imagine. 🙁
