Freestyle2 at 10 Degrees of Tenting
Flat keyboards cause painful forearm pronation
Pronation in the forearm and wrist occurs when typing with your palms face down towards the worksurface. Sustained pronation puts pressure on the forearm muscles and tissues which reduces blood circulation and can lead to fatigue and repetitive strain injuries (“RSI”).
Research demonstrates that a moderate elevation of the thumb side of the hand dramatically reduces the pressure on the forearm muscles.
What is tenting?
Backed by extensive research and testing
For 7 months the Atlas IPS firm conducted an independent study investigating the impact of the Freestyle keyboard’s unique split design on posture, comfort, and performance with 80 employees at a large U.S. software company.
Findings:
- 100% were back to full productivity after a brief adaption period
- 96% preferred the Freestyle over their conventional keyboard
- 79% experienced a decrease in neck discomfort
- 50% experienced a decrease in ulnar deviation
