A specially designed support is disclosed aimed at supporting the proximal and/or distal forearm and wrist areas while actively transferring a limited and directed pressure to the volar aspect of the distal forearm and wrist. The action is not coupled to movement performed by the user. This force, in turn, allows for enhancing venous return from the area, and thus acts to prevent ailments caused by use of computer input devices (e.g. computer mouse, keyboard). The support further comprises a motor exerting said repetitive pressure or possibly other means for forming such movement as described. The support utilizes continuous movement to alter and better the physiology of computer users, lessening chances of occurrence of pathology specifically known as carpal tunnel syndrome and possibly alleviating this condition altogether The support may be used in a mouse pad, keyboard rest or arm rest. This design may be augmented by other modifications and additions which may be utilized in conjunction with the current invention or as inventions or modifications in their own right.
