Abstract

This invention provides for a wrist support system (10) which is generally positioned adjacent a keyboard (12) of a computer system (14) or typewriter which is directed to alleviating the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. The wrist support system includes a support member (22) which is mounted on a base surface (28) adjacent the keyboard (12). A liquid containing pack (30) is mounted on an upper surface (32) of the support member (22) for resiliently interfacing with a user's palm area (20) and wrist area (18) when the user is operating the keyboard (12). The liquid containing pack (30) is deformable to the contours of the palm area (20) and wrist area (18) and provides a flexible support for the user's interfacing areas.
