ORTHOPEDIC COMPUTER MOUSE

摘要

An orthopedic computer mouse has an electrical cable (30). The orthopedic computer mouse comprises a forward end (14), a rear end (16), an opposite sides (18 and 20). The generally hemispherical surface (22) blends into an extension (25) for supporting the hollow of the hand. A plurality of control buttons (23a, 23b 23c) are disposed proximal to the forward end (14). A plurality of raised ridges (23) may be integrally formed with the hemispherical surface (22) define depressions to accomodate the fingers. A thumb supporting surface (26) is disposed opposite the generally hemispherical finger supporting surface (22). The thumb supporting surface (26) may be defined as a depression for holding the thumb against downward movement toward the side edge (20). In the preferred embodiment, the generally hemispherical surface (22) merges into a hypothenar depression (28) for supporting the hypothenar eminence of the hand. A raised fork (36) is disposed above the generally hemispherical surface (22) for placing the fingers of the hand in a pincer position.
