The Hoverstop active ergonomic mouse is suitable for assisting with the rehabilitation and prevention of injuries and discomfort associated with computer mouse usage.   The Hoverstop assists by changing the mouse usage habits that produce static loadings on the body. 

How the Hoverstop Works

The Hoverstop ergonomic mouse has a built-in sensor that detects if there is a hand close to or on the mouse. It then starts a timer-counter. Mouse action (clicking, scrolling) is monitored. If there is no mouse action for more than 10 seconds, the built-in vibration unit is triggered. The vibration will continue until you click the mouse or remove your hand. Every time you click or scroll the timer-counter is reset to zero, so during ordinary, active use of the mouse a signal is never generated. However, our research results show that there are always longer periods of inactive time, with you still holding the mouse.

The Hoverstop mouse is operating system independent. All necessary functions are performed by the mouse itself, not using processor time from the PC or slowing it down. Just plug it into the USB/PS2 port and start using it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Text Box: Do you know...
...how often your hand remains tensed on the mouse without actually using it? Up to 30 times an hour! Total passive mouse time can run up to more than 10 minutes per hour!
Save yourself this time and tension, release the mouse and relax!
 

Text Box: Here you see what happens...
...with your muscles when you are using a mouse. The red line shows the tension in your arm-muscles. When you are actively clicking and scrolling, you can see some peaks caused by movement. When you leave your hand on the mouse (mouse passive) and try to relax, the peaks disappear, but the muscle tension remains elevated.
Only when you release the mouse and rest your hand on the table, your muscles will relax.
