Abstract
Abstract A support for the forearm of a person actuating an object such as a computer mouse which can be slid along a horizontal surface includes a pad supported at a declination upon rolling elements. The forward portion of a person's arm is supported at the lower position of the pad, and the pad has a concave central portion rising upwardly at the lateral portions so that movement of the forearm can direct the position of the support.
