If you don't need to adjust the stool much, then a regular lever action stool is fine. I am always adjusting the stool for working on different shelf heights, so I sprung for the pricier 'ring adjusting' doctor's model. It is what they use in the medical field. It has an adjustment ring, so you don't have to hunt for the lever. Love it! If you are tall, get the taller version. This one goes down to 16.5 inches at the low point. As long as you are thinking ergonomics, get yourself a heavy duty electric adjusting worktable or three. I don't have one, but I think about it every few days when my back hurts and wish I did have one. It is on the 'to buy' list along with a workhouse and Lasergraphics Director scanner...as soon as the lotto hits! <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

I used to have lots of shoulder issues, mainly on one side. I determined the stress of my hand on the table to use the mouse was the problem. I experimented with getting the mouse between my legs and resting my arm on my thigh as I used the mouse. That was the most relaxed position I could come up with. I used a custom cut plant stand something like this for the mouse. The hard part was cutting the stand to the exact height. If you cut too much you have to add some shims on the bottom. I also trimmed the sharp corners for fit between my legs. Got shoulder / neck problems on the mouse arm? Maybe you are getting old. Go buy a plant stand and give it a try. <><><><> Pan Pacific Auditorium, Los Angeles Source: L.O.C. Post Processing: D.D.Teoli Jr. Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.
