The study below was done on the Dr. Mouse. The 3M Renaissance Mouse is made from the same molds as the Doctor Mouse. A reduction in muscle strain is thought to play an important role in the prevention of pain in the musculoskeletal system. The Anir mouse requires only slight flexion of the wrist and slight twisting of the hand, resulting in low pressure in the carpal tunnel. The study showed that the general muscle strain is heavier than previously believed when using a conventional mouse.
Injuries resulting from use of a conventional mouse are likely to increase in the future.
It was therefore vital to design products which can reduce and prevent injuries caused by using the wrong mouse.
