For the past 15 years, complying with the FMLA has been complex, but at least the law (once you figured it out) stayed the same. On Jan. 16, that all changed. Here are the changes you must comply with. FMLA Intermittent Leave: 5 Guidelines

I am the ergonomic coordinator for our office and I use these...they are approx. 2" wide and taper towards the ends.

I don't have any suggestions for your question unfortunately. I just wonder how many of us read your question and immediately got out a ruler and measured our own wrist rest. Guilty!

I just wanted to say two things
First: I've had tendonitis for over 2 years (I'm getting better!) and I don't use a 'wrist rest'. The bottom of my palms do sit on a rest at the bottom of my keyboard, but actually resting the wrist usually entails that the wrist is not straight when a person is typing. Keeping the wrist straight will usually solve any problems a person is having. Second: Microsoft makes a keyboard that is very ergonomic. I don't know if you have room in your budget for it, but it has a spli keyboard that also elevates so the top of the keyboard is lower than the bottom of it. I use this and it has done wonders for me. |

I'd suggest asking your ergonomic consultant, since that's the person that made the suggestion. I bet they have lots of information about products that are available.

I agree with Lisa. If the consultant recommended a narrower one, surely s/he knows where to find one.

Sometimes adjusting the tilt of your keyboard will help your wrist. If you put the keyboard flat...you will lesson the restriction of the blood flow. This plus using a wrist rest for the keyboard usually helps. Also, using a wrist rest for your mouse will help in the dominate hand/wrist. If you use a track ball...there are wrist rests for those, too.
