A 2003-2004 U.S. survey concluded that Americans spend more than half of their day sitting. That number may not be news, but the fact that all that sitting may actually shorten one’s life span is frightening information. Several recent studies have suggested that people who spend most of their day sitting may have shorter life spans. While the research is still in its early stages and experts have yet to determine how many hours a day is too much, it would be wise for all of us to find ways to break up long periods of sitting.
Canadian researchers published a study last year that tracked more than 17,000 people for 12 years. This study found that people who sat more had a higher risk

Looking for the review of the Evoluent Vertical Mouse? Or are you looking for the product listing of the Evoluent Vertical Mouse?
There are primarily three questions concerning the Evoluent that I regularly come across.
The first one is, “How do you say Evoluent?” Start off like you are saying evolution, but you stop at “evolu” and add an “ent” on the end, similar to the word “fluent”.
The second question is, “Don’t you feel the bottom of your hand dragging on the mouse pad?” This depends on the shape and size of your hand. I have a pretty thick hand and feel it touching the mouse pad at times, but it has never bothered me in the slightest. I’ve used the mouse both at work

The Evoluent Mouse, just like anything you use that is different, takes a couple of hours to get used to, and then a few days to become proficient. If you are looking for a low-cost way to improve your comfort at the computer, this should be your first step. This vertical mouse embodies the essence of ergonomics.
You can try the difference right now as you read this. Hold out your hand like you’re using a regular mouse where your palm is facing down towards a desk surface or keyboard. Now tilt your hand clockwise (if you’re left-handed, tilt it counter clockwise) until your hand is perpendicular, like you are about to give a handshake. Continue to rotate your hand back and forth

This past week, I was given the privilege of writing a report on Foot Stools including the ever popular Humanscale FM100, Humanscale FM300, and Humanscale FM500. After staring at a blank screen for an hour wondering
what exactly I was going to write about what I considered to be a “glorified foot stool”, I decided to do a little research to see exactly what the fuss was about.
Did you know that research studies have shown that 70% of all women and 40% of all men have health issues such as blood clots, varicose veins and pressure on the Achilles tendon due to pooling of fluids in the lower limbs?
I didn’t, nor did I realize that this was the result of prolonged, inactive

The most popular ergonomic keyboards trays we sell are Humanscale keyboard trays. When I say popular, I don’t mean that they are a faddish or trendy- the reason these adjustable keyboard trays sell so well is their versatility and build-quality.
Humanscale keyboards tray systems have a lead time of 5-7 business days for a custom configuration, so we stock two popular configurations in our warehouse, the Humanscale 5G90090HG and Humanscale 5G500G27.
The sku’s refer to individual parts in a configuration:
- The 5G mechanism lifts, swivels and tilts the keyboard platform
- The 900 and 500 are rectangular keyboard platforms
- The 90H is an adjustable clip mouse platform and is only
