  • Patent number: 5137384
    Abstract: Conceived with the human-engineering objective of overcoming Repetitive Motion Injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The solution, a system comprising a split-keyboard spaced laterally into vertically arranged co-operative keypad halves, optimally enabling the user to sit with the lightweight portable keyboard assembly laying directly upon their lap. Traditional keyboards orient operator's hands inducing a wrist-twisting, arm-extending stress while the stress-free ergonomic bodily position herein liberates one from such trauma by reorientation of the hands and arms to a non-pronated, unextended position. This correction involves the upper-arm draping naturally down from the shoulder with the forearm, set at a relaxed forward projecting right-angle, placing the Carpal-ligaments of one's wrists in a non-torqued, neutral position.
