The Warm Mouse Evolution - Heated Computer Mouse Story For Healthy Infrared Therapy

Warm Mouse - Heated Mouse - Heated Mouse Pad - Heated Computer Keyboard - Mouse Hand Warmer®

The Warm Mouse has many names, has many descriptive titles and is multi-functional. Yet, it is simply as it is called - a computer mouse with a warming effect to keep a computer user's mouse hand warm. The heated computer mouse does more than provide warm, infrared heat to a computer user's mouse hand. The infrared heated computer mouse is ergonomic. It's a healthy addition to a computer user's desktop.

Here's information about the evolution of the heated computer mouse. The ergonomic computer mouse called the Warming Mouse, Warm Computer Mouse, Heated Mouse, Heated Computer Mouse, Infrared Mouse, USB Warmer Mouse, Warmest Mouse, Warmer Mouse, etc., etc., etc. Whichever way you look at it, whatever name you call it, the warmer mouse, like any other innovative invention, has a story -- an evolution of sorts.

Warm Mouse I

The Warm Mouse I is an ergonomic shaped computer mouse with a wide grip to provide a comfortable, standard mouse hand posture. This mouse was the first computer mouse designed with heat. The heated computer mouse uses a carbon fiber and generates infrared heat. Infrared heat is deep healing. It is a healthy, therapeutic source of relief for tired, aching mouse hand muscles and joints.

Infrared heat has been used for many centuries by Eastern cultures as a therapeutic source of healing. In the USA, infrared saunas are used for deep penetrating relief of aching muscles which in turn creates a detoxifying result for the blood. Through perspiration and urination, the body rids itself of unwanted toxins as a result of a deep penetrating infrared sauna experience.

Around 2005-2006, infrared heated computer devices were introduced to the market through an invention and patent in China. The Warm Mouse I is the original heated mouse -- the first design sold on the internet. In 2007, the patent was registered in China. The Warm Mouse I is currently sold online at select ecommerce sites throughout the world -- USA, China, Japan, UK and others.

Warm Mouse II

The Warm Mouse II has a sleek profile and provides a deep healing infrared heat to the computer user's mouse hand. It is easy to hold, and it does not require a tight grip. The sleek profile enables the mouse to move easily across the mouse pad with a slight push of the mouse hand. The infrared heat is deep healing and a source of heat therapy for an over worked mouse hand. Just 20-30 minutes of infrared heat daily can produce positive results and improve blood circulation. Like all the warming computer mice, this design has an on/off switch on the cord and can be used with or without heat.

Some people call the Warm Mouse II the warmest mouse! It's sleek, small profile produces a very warm mousing experience. The heat is generated via the USB port on the computer and uses a low 5v carbon fiber heating element. When not in use, turn off the heat using the control on the cord or unplug the mouse from the computer.

The Warm Mouse II is sold throughout the world at select ecommerce sites in a variety of bright, shiny colors.

Warm Mouse III

The Warm Mouse III is the newest of the heated computer mouse designs. It has a large angled design making it very comfortable to use. The hand rests on top of the Warm Mouse III in a flat handshake style posture. This computer mouse forces the user to use new muscles lessening the usual strain from regular mouse hand repetition.

The top of the Warm Mouse III, heated computer mouse, is shaped like a large tear-drop oval. The bottom of the heated mouse is shaped like a kidney bean. The slick, new design gives mousing a whole new perspective. The hand rests on top of the smooth warm mouse and with effortless motion glides its way across the mouse pad.

The Warm Mouse III measures about 5" x 2.25" in size. The hand lies flat on top of the heated mouse with a slight side posture using the left grip for the thumb and the right grip for the fingers position. The Warm Mouse III design eliminates arm twisting because of its more natural hand position and improves comfort.

Each of the warmer mouse designed computer mice has a 800 dpi scroll wheel and is plug and play. No additional software is needed to install the warmer mouse. All styles are optical computer mice with a convenient on/off switch or heat control dial on its long USB cord. They all use a 5v infrared heating element to produce healthy, deep healing, infrared heat. The heat level ranges from about 99 - 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and it's safe for computers and people.

The heated mouse was designed to produce a deep therapeutic massaging effect for the mouse hand. Massage therapists use infrared heat for treating muscle aches and pains. Now, computer users can use the same Infrared heat in the comfort of their home whenever they use the computer. Infrared heat soothes aching hand muscles, relaxes tension and reduces stress. The result is reduced hand pain and improved blood circulation. The healthy effects of infrared heated computer devices like the heated computer mouse is helpful for those who suffer with chronic cold hand problems: arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CTD), Raynaud's Phenomenon and other computer-related cold hand pain conditions.

"ValueRays® = Valuable Infrared Radiant Heat Rays! ValueRays® manufactures USB hand warmers using carbon fibers to create healthy infrared heated computer devices-heated mouse, heated mouse pad & more."

For_Immediate_Release:

(Free-Press-Release.com) July 12, 2009 -- ValueRays® USB Infrared Heat Hand Warmers announced today the results of a three month study using an infrared heated mouse to help soothe aching arthritis computer hands. The study was conducted using people who have arthritis in their hands and who use the computer at least 4 hours per day. There were two control groups: One group used the ValueRays® Warm Mouse, and the second group did not use a heated mouse. After three months, the people using the infrared heated computer mouse for a minimum of 30 minutes each day reported less mouse hand pain and the ability to use the computer for longer periods of time compared to the limited amount of time by the people not using the infrared heated mouse. On an average, the heated mouse was used longer than 30 minutes by most of the group. As a result, the heated computer mouse helped computer users increase time using the computer with more ease and comfort by 2-4 hours per day. That's a significant increase for people who need to use the computer for work.

"If a person needs to use the computer to work, chances are they are using the computer most of the day," said Anna Miller, ValueRays® Founder, "Our goal is to provide USB hand warmers like the heated computer mouse to help people feel more comfortable using the computer."

ValueRays® "Valuable Infrared Radiant Heat Rays" offers the following products:

- Warm Mouse I - an ergonomic, USB, Optical, infrared heated mouse

- increased flexibility
- the ability to use the computer longer
- less wrist pain
- less arm pain
- reduced finger numbness
- less hand tingling
- elimination of cold mouse hand

Infrared heat penetrates deep through the skin's layers to the muscle tissue and bones. There are over 100 different types of arthritis. Arthritis hand pain is caused by inflamed tissue and joints. The infrared heated mouse helps increase blood circulation to the affected areas reducing pain associated with arthritis. Infrared heat has been used for hundreds, if not thousands, of years by Eastern Cultures. Far Infrared (FIR) is the warmth felt from the natural radiant rays of the sun without the harmful UV sun rays. FIR is a healthy, proactive, therapeutic, cost-effective, energy-efficient, source of warmth for people who have cold hands when using the computer. Because of its healthy attributes, ValueRays® radiant heat rays can help reduce the risk of computer related hand injury.

If you or someone you know suffers with cold hands when using the computer, ValueRays® USB Hand Warmers: Heated Mouse, Heated Mouse Pad, Heated Keyboard Pad and Heated Mouse Hand Warmer Blanket are an ideal source of soothing, deep healing, infrared heat.

The infrared heated ergonomic computer products in this article are available online at Warm-Mouse-Heated-Keyboard.com or IGMproducts.com

by Marji Hajic, BellaOnline's Ergonomics Editor

For those who experience cold hands while mousing or typing, or for those who use a computer in an air-conditioned work environment, IGM Products has a line of computer devices that deserve a closer look. The Mouse Hand Warmer Blanket Pouch, the Warm Mouse, and the Warm Mouse Pad are designed to relieve the aching caused by cold fingers and poor circulation, arthritis, fibromyalgia, Raynaud’s symptoms, and even repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis.

Designed by Anna Miller, an internet pioneer and fashion ecommerce entrepreneur who suffered from cold and numb hands, the products are receiving good reviews within the technology industry. The Mouse Hand Warmer Blanket is a warm, fleece-lined pouch with a non-slip surface into which you can place a traditional mousing pad. Heat is maintained inside the pouch creating a warm mousing environment. The result is similar to a warm blanket covering your mousing hand. The pouch measures approximately 12 x 12 inches. The gray fleece with black and white trim is designed to give the pouch a modern, professional appearance. A net fronting allows for clear optical connection when using a wireless mouse. A small slit in the pouch front allows for easy connection when using a USB connected mouse. In addition, the pouch can be hand-washed and air-dried, is earth-friendly, made in the USA, uses no electricity, and has no cords attached.

Since the introduction of the Mouse Hand Warmer Blanket Pouch onto the market in 2008, and in response to its positive reception, several additional products have since been designed. The new ValueRays (Valueable Radiant Infrared Heat Rays) line offers a mouse and a mouse pad that provide infrared heat.

The Warm Mouse and Warm Mouse Pad are a USB infrared heated mouse and mouse pad made of a carbon fiber heating element. The mouse plugs quickly into a free USB port and is ready to use – it does not require any additional driver or software. An easy on/off switch on the USB cord allows you to turn the heat on or off as needed. The temperature is regulated between 99 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit keeping the hand comfortably warm. The majority of the heat is located in the palm of the hand. The mouse is light-weight and has a rapid cursor movement (800 DPI). The mouse is low voltage (5V) ensuring safety for both the user and the computer.

The Warm Mouse Pad also provides a radiant heat regulated between 99 and 104 degrees Farenheit. It requires two USB ports – one for a blue lighting function surrounding the pad and the other for the heating function. Either or both can be used depending upon your needs. The mouse pad also has a 4-port built-in USB Hub. The pad is a 10 x 10 inch black, compact panel suitable for all types of mouse usage.

A word of caution: The Warm Mouse may not be suitable for those with acute inflammation in the hand, those with loss of sensation, or young children. Although the temperature of the mouse does not become extremely hot, those with any condition causing sensory or circulatory deficits that may alter the way in which heat is dispersed by the tissues should be careful around any heated object.

Raynaud's Cold Hands ValueRays® Infrared Heat Therapy

http://IGMproducts.com & http://www.Warm-Mouse-Heated-Keyboard.com

ValueRays® Warm Mouse, Heated Mouse Pad, Heated Computer Keyboard Pad, & Mouse Hand Warmer® Blanket

For Raynaud's cold hands and fingers use infrared heat therapy; warm mouse, heated mouse pad, heated computer keyboard, mouse hand warmer blanket pouch. USB heated ergonomic computer accessories are an economical and efficient source of heat. The heated mouse and mousepad inside the mouse hand warmer blanket create a perfect mouse hand environment. The heated computer keyboard pad provides ergonomic support for typing.

While we're sitting at the computer playing, working or just passing time, we may as well be doing something healthy for ourself. There are many new infrared heat computer accessories made specifically for people who suffer with cold hands. Raynaud's Disease also called Raynaud's Phenomenon is a medical condition with cold hands as a symptom. Actually, Raynaud's causes all extremities to become cold, not just the hands.

Raynaud's was discovered in 1862 by a French doctor, Maurice Raynaud. Dr. Raynaud discovered blood flowing to the extremities stops due to a spasm in blood vessels going to the toes, nose, fingers and ears. The spasms are caused by stressful events or exposure to the cold, and the areas affected by the Raynaud attack turn colors: white, blue, and various shades of red.

People who suffer with cold hands due to Raynaud's report painful cold hand and finger sensations, swelling, hand tingling, cold hand and fingertip numbness and throbbing. They welcome sources of heat to relieve the cold hand and fingertip pain. Infrared heat therapy is helpful for Raynaud's sufferers. When using the computer, a person must grip and grasp a computer mouse and use the hands for typing on the computer's keyboard. This can be a painful experience for the person whose hands and fingers are cold and numb.

Hand therapists report an increase in computer-related hand problems -- Raynaud's is one of the ailments needing attention. There are heated ergonomic computer work aids available for people who suffer with cold hands and fingers. The infrared heated, warm computer mouse plugs into an USB socket on the computer and generates a steady flow of heat for the computer mouse user. Infrared heat is therapeutic and delivers a deep penetrating healthy heat source to the painful hand.

There are other USB heated computer products. The infrared heated, warm mouse pad operates on the same premise as the warming mouse. The heated mouse pad provides a warm surface to rest the hand, thumb and fingers when using the mouse. Using both, the warm mouse and the warm mouse pad is a very good, economical source of heat energy.

To make the therapeutic heat experience even better, insert the warm mouse and heated mouse pad inside a warm, mouse hand warmer blanket pouch. The heat generated by the heated mouse and heated mousepad is insulated inside the mouse hand warmer blanket creating an ultimate hand warmer environment for the mouse hand.

Computer keyboard hands find warmth, comfort and relief from an infrared heated computer keyboard pad placed in front of the keyboard. The warm pad plugs into an USB socket on the computer and operates on the same premise as the warm mouse and heated mouse pad. The warm keyboard pad is made using a sponge interior providing ergonomic support for the wrists, hands and fingers. The warmth provides a steady, economical source of heat for the computer keyboard hands. Plus, the pad is a perfect resting area for the elbows.

Although there's no known cure for Raynaud's, there are ways to keep warm when using the computer. For more information about infrared heat, visit ValueRays.com. For more information about help for cold hand pain and ways to keep warm, visit the Learning Center at IGMproducts.com.

ValueRays® Warm Mouse: The computer ergonomics missing link

Anna Miller — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:30:00 GMT

http://IGMproducts.com & http://www.Warm-Mouse-Heated-Keyboard.com

Ever wonder why computer mice are shaped the way they are? Does your mouse hand ache regardless of the shape of computer mouse you use? I've asked myself lately, and came to the conclusion people are all the same, yet they are very different. So, for every ergonomic need and every hand condition, there's a different shaped computer mouse with different and helpful functionality.

The computer mouse was invented about 40 years ago by Douglas Engelbart. If you search Google for "computer mouse inventor" you can read more about its history. Pictures of the first mouse illustrate a small wooden box filled with techie guts. We've come a long way in 40 years. And, the functionality of the computer mouse has, too.

The missing ergonomic link in modern-day computer mouse technology is heat. The warm mouse is the answer to many ailments and hand injuries. The use of the computer is growing, and it's use is not going to fade or go away anytime soon. As a matter of fact, computer use being on the rise, educators are debating as to whether or not to continue teaching penmanship in schools!

If we rely upon the computer for everyday connections, for Presidential campaigns and for daily tasks, then why wouldn't we begin the introduction of computer work aids to assist in healing and creating a more healthy computer work environment. That's where the warm mouse fits nicely. The warm mouse generates heat to the mouse hand. Whether the mouse hand is cold, sore, tense or stressed, the heat from a warm mouse penetrates deeply through the skin's layers to sore muscles creating a comfortable, relaxed, healthy experience.

The use of a carbon fiber heating element inside the mouse creating infrared heat adds tremondous benefit for using a warm mouse. Infrared heat heals (search Google for "infrared heat heals"). This has been proven and documented by medical practitioners worldwide. Infrared heating pads, lamps, saunas, incubators and NASA space programs use infrared heat. Studies show about 30 minutes of infrared heat daily improves poor circulation by getting blood flowing to constricted blood vessels. What a relief for people who suffer with poor hand circulation from Raynaud's Phenomenon, arthritis and diabetes! Holding a warm mouse at home or at work can make a huge difference for hand pain and comfort when using the computer.

When there's a stiff neck or sore back, a heating pad helps relieve the pain. Similarly, when the computer mouse hand hurts, a warm mouse feels good and creates relief. The positive results of the warm mouse have been so very good it has inspired the manufacture of warm mouse pads, warm keyboard pads, and a vast array of other USB (Universal Serial Bus) connected devices to create heat and warmth for computer users. Plus, the heat created is energy-efficient and cost-effective. No need to crank up the room temperature when a computer's energy is easily converted into creating comfort for its user.

Before you race out to get a warm mouse, make sure you get one with a carbon fiber to generate infrared heat, and be certain to compare prices and shipping costs. Free shipping and purchasing from a reputable supplier is best. Driving to your local office supply store for a warm mouse may be a waste of time. The best place to obtain a warm mouse is online. The search engines are a good place to shop and compare (search Google for "infrared heat computer mouse"). While you are at it, take a look at other heated computer products, too. The warm mouse, the warm mouse pad and the warm keyboard pad are only the beginning of things to get to create an ultimate warm ergonomic computer work environment.

Repetitive Strain Injury, Cumulative Trauma Disorder, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Infrared Heat Therapy

Warm Mouse - Heated Mouse Pad - Heated Computer Keyboard - Mouse Hand Warmer®

************

Don't laugh, there's a list of new, warm, USB infrared heated computer gadgets available to help prevent the onset of repetitive strain injuries like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. So, instead of causing problems, the computer may actually be helping us! Have you ever heard of a Warm Mouse? or a Heated Mouse Pad? a Heated Keyboard Pad? or a Mouse Hand Warmer? These items provide healing heat to your cold computer hands. It's a proactive approach to the prevention of computer-related hand injury.

Many people suffer from hand and arm injuries due to overusing the computer mouse hand and keyboard hands. It's referred to as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CTD). The most common form of the condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve running from the arm to the hand gets squeezed near the wrist. The median nerve deals with the palm side of the thumb, most of the fingers and some muscles in the hand. The area called the "carpal tunnel" is a narrow area of ligament and bone at the base of the hand that holds the median nerve and some tendons. When the median nerve gets squeezed, it usually causes pain, tingling, numbness and weakness in the hand, wrist and arm.

The onset of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is gradual. So, taking a proactive approach to this type of condition is the smart thing to do. There are things a person can do to help decrease the chance of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and possibly prevent it altogether.

The most obvious health tips include relaxing the hand's grip on objects like the computer mouse, exercising the hands and arms instead of sitting in the same position for long hours, creating a healthy ergonomic computer work area, sitting properly, holding the arms properly when using computer devices, and keeping the hands using the computer warm.

Keeping the hands warm has always been a challenge until now. There are USB computer mice, mouse pads and keyboard pads creating an energy-efficient and cost-effecive source of infrared heat for our cold computer hands. These items are made using a carbon fiber and they generate a deep penetrating infrared heat. Infrared heat is the same as the natural heat rays from the sun without the harmful UV sun rays. It penetrates deep through the skin's layers into the muscle tissue. And, along the way, the infrared heat dilates blood vessels, removes toxins from the blood cells and improves blood circulation.

Infrared therapy can help prevent the onset of hand injuries and improve hand injury conditions. Heat therapy has been safely used for thousands of years throughout the world and in all walks of life producing postive, measurable results. Studies indicate about 20-30 minutes of infrared heat therapy daily is helpful in preventing and helping hand injuries.

Whenever heat is an approved treatment, infrared heated computer products will help. The warm mouse relaxes the hand muscles and reduces tension and stress. The heated mouse pad creates a warm mouse hand surface for the wrist, fingers and thumb areas. The heated computer keyboard pad provides ergonomic support for the hands over the the keyboard. The warm heat provides a comfortable work pad for hands, wrists and arms.

Carpal Tunnel, and any of the other hand and arm related strain injuries are serious conditions. Being more aware of these conditions and creating an infrared heated, ergonomic, computer work area are the first steps in using the computer wisely.

Do your OT clients complain of cold hands? Stiff joints? Hand pain? Do they suffer with wrist pain when using the computer keyboard? Maybe they need a computer keyboard warming wrist support pad. Heated ergonomic computer aids offer assistance and support for the OT client. The use of a computer on-the-job is almost mandatory these days. When hand injury prevents or inhibits productive work, using computer work aids may help.

* * * * *

Seems like the only part of the ergonomic equation not getting much attention these days is the computer keyboard. Sure, there are many ergonomic keyboards with strange shapes and designs, but the cost of them prohibit a test drive for most of us. We purchase a new computer, and a standard keyboard is included. We get used to using a standard keyboard and stick with it until something new comes along.

If wrists and hands remain on the desk top or on the keyboard itself, it can become quite uncomfortable to type. The desk and the keyboard surfaces are cold. It doesn't take very long for the wrists and hands to feel the chill. It can actually make your entire body feel cold. Cold hands when using the computer are uncomfortable and unproductive.

A value-added item to provide warmth and support is a heated computer keyboard wrist pad. One of the warm keyboard pad designs can be put into the microwave to heat. The warmth lasts about 15 minutes. Although novel, the practicality of this style of heated keyboard pad is not practical for most.

An USB (universal serial bus) connected keyboard pad seems to be the best solution for adding warmth and ergonomic support while keyboarding. A heated keyboard pad connects to the computer and draws a low voltage of electricity providing warmth to the pad's surface. The keyboard pad consists of a cloth cover and a soft sponge-like interior. The arms and wrists rest on the pad at just the right height over the keyboard. The surface of the pad delivers a steady flow of heat. Hands never touch the keyboard or the desk's surface.

The remarkable component of the USB heated keyboard pad is its healing qualities. The heating element is made of a carbon fiber which produces infrared heat. Infrared heat has been used for many years as a source of healing. The most familiar and natural source of infrared heat is the sun. A heated keyboard pad using a carbon fiber delivers infrared heat without the harmful UV rays of the sun.

Research shows 20-30 minutes of infrared heat treatment daily can improve blood circulation through the blood vessels and reduce symptoms related to RSI (repetitive stress injury). People who suffer from poor circulation, arthritis, diabetes and Raynaud's welcome warmth throughout the year to deal with cold, painful joints and muscle tension. By using an infrared heated computer keyboard pad, arms, wrists and hands are ergonomically supported in front of the keyboard, and they are kept warm. Plus, the soft pad is a comfortable resting place for arms and elbows.

Heated computer products are somewhat new to the computer accessories market. A warm mouse, heated mouse pad and warm, heated keyboard pad are just the beginning of heated ergonomic computer work aids available today. With the continued use of the computer, and the advancements of technology, we'll probably see many more heated computer gadgets invented. USB heated computer products are an economical and energy-efficient way to provide warmth and ergonomic support while using the computer.

ValueRays heated computer mouse delivers valuable (value-abled) infrared heat rays to the computer mouse hand when used. At least 15-20 minutes each day of infrared heat improves hand pain associated with cold mouse hand. (To see pictures, please visit http://www.IGMproducts.com)

A warm computer mouse is the answer for many people who suffer with cold hands. Many of us sit for hours working at the computer with freezing cold hands and don't know what to do to solve the problem. There is a solution. The heated computer mouse is the answer to a cold mouse hand. It's a cost effective and energy efficient way to keep warm when your hands are cold. There are other warming, heated computer products, too. They are all available at IGMproducts.com, and they include a heated, warm mouse pad, a heated, warm keyboard pad and a fleece mouse hand warmer blanket pouch to house the warm mouse and warm mouse pad.

The warm mouse is USB connected to the computer using a low 5v electrical current making it safe for people and the computer. The heated computer mouse is made using a carbon fiber. Carbon fibers create infrared heat. Infrared heat has healing qualities making the time the user spends holding the warm computer mouse therapeutic in nature. Studies reveal a minimum of 20-30 minutes daily of infrared therapy has healing effects.

Do your hands get cold easily? Do you sit for long periods of time at the computer holding a cold computer mouse? Does your mouse hand get cold? Do your fingers get numb? Do you have a cold mouse hand ? Many people suffer with pain in their hands from the cold. As soon as the temperatures drop in a room or work space chills experienced by the computer user run through the body. The cold from a drop in temperature, drafts from a nearby window, or from an overhead ceiling fan can all cause a person's exposed extremities to feel cold and then painfully numb.

Most people who experience this depth of cold hand frigidness already have a diagnosed condition and are aware of the cause of the cold hand problem. Many people are not aware of the cold hand problem source. The most common conditions falling into this category are carpal tunnel syndrome, poor circulation, arthritis, Raynaud's, diabetes and other illnesses specifically associated with cold hand symptoms. Many daily habits can cause cold hands, too. Nicotine and certain medications can affect our metabolism, and the body's response to cold.

Here's a list of the type of people who need a warm computer mouse:

Symptoms of cold fingertips and hands during times of stress and cold exposure suggests the benign but annoying condition of primary Raynaud’s, also called Raynaud’s disease. Primary Raynaud’s usually appears between the ages of 15 to 40, is more common in women and those who live in cold climates, and affects up to 10 percent of the population. While we don’t completely understand the process of Raynaud’s, it appears the blood vessels in the extremities overreact to stress or exposure to cold by going into spasm. This leads to decreased blood flow and loss of heat. As a result the fingers and other affected areas feel cold and become pale or blue in color. When the spasm is over, the affected areas may temporarily turn a red as the warmth returns. (source )
Secondary Raynaud’s produces symptoms similar to primary Raynaud’s, but is triggered by smoking or a medical condition, which includes:
• Connective tissue diseases such as Scleroderma or Sjogren’s syndrome.
• Autoimmune diseases such as lupus.
• Arterial diseases including Buerger’s and peripheral arterial disease.
• Rheumatoid arthritis.
• Neurological disorders such as carpel tunnel syndrome and reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
• Previous fractures and vibration-induced injuries, from, for example the use of vibrating tools.
Even certain medications have the potential to trigger secondary Raynaud’s symptoms. These medications include beta blockers, estrogen-containing drugs, certain chemotherapeutic agents and the over-the-counter decongestant pseudoephedrine. (source )
Any person who has poor circulation problems affecting the extremities: hands, arms, fingers, wrists. Any person with a disorder or condition that affects the circulatory system. The circulatory system refers to the blood transport system. Circulatory disorders can arise from problems with the heart, blood vessels or the blood itself. These conditions include and are not limited to: high cholesterol, heart disease, cancer, depression, diabetes, hypertension, heart disorders, blood disorders, anemia, blood vessel disorders, thyroid function, etc. (source )
Those who live in a cold climate depend on economical ways to stay warm most of the year. A warm mouse is an ideal source of inexpensive energy. Plus, when used inside a Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch, the heat generated by the warm mouse is contained and insulated by the fleece blanket fabric creating a very comfortable mouse hand environment.
Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Hand Therapists, Massage Therapists and Chiropractors see people on a daily basis who report hand problems and suffer from painful hand injuries. Most of the people with hand injuries require rehabilitation, support and guidance. Plus, they are more likely to have jobs requiring them to use the computer to complete their work. People with hand injuries or surgery recuperation can use the warm mouse to help soothe hand pain, relieve tension in hand muscles and assist in the healing process.
Alcohol in the blood lowers a person's tolerance for the cold and can easily cause cold hands, numbness, tingling sensations. Studies and clinical symptoms of alcoholism were described more than 200 years ago and have led to the recognition and association of peripheral nerve disease with excessive ethanol use. When nerves are damaged so is blood flow. Alcohol appears to be toxic to autonomic and peripheral nerves in a dose-dependent manner, on the basis of heart rate and blood pressure. (source ) Alcohol, or ethanol, is a poison with direct toxic effects on nerve and muscle cells. Depending on which nerve and muscle pathways are involved, alcohol can have far-reaching effects on different parts of the brain, peripheral nerves, and muscles, with symptoms of memory loss, incoordination, seizures, weakness, and sensory deficits. (source )
People who work in cold environments risk the onset of hypothermia. Hypothermia should be and can be avoided. A person who experiences hypothermia causes their body temperature to drop below normal (98.6°F). Hypothermia (from Greek ὑποθερμία) is a condition in which an organism's temperature drops below that required for normal metabolism and bodily functions. In warm-blooded animals, core body temperature is maintained near a constant level through biologic homeostasis. But, when the body is exposed to cold, its internal mechanisms may be unable to replenish the heat that is being lost to the organism's surroundings. Hypothermia is the opposite of hyperthermia, the condition that causes heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Stage 1 hypothermia produces mild shivering, inability to perform tasks with the hands, and the hands become numb. (source )
Diabetics experience poor circulation to their extremities. A warm computer mouse would add comfort to diabetics who suffer with cold hands.
Peripheral Vascular disease refers to diseases of blood vessels outside the heart and brain. It's often a narrowing of vessels that carry blood to the legs, arms, stomach or kidneys. (source )
Hand injuries include knuckle injury, finger injury, and/or joint injury. A warm computer mouse would be soothing for the person during the recovery process. The infrared heat generated by the warm mouse would aid and help speed the recovery and healing process.
People who suffer from chronic hand pain would benefit from the healing infrared heat of the warm mouse. The heated computer mouse delivers deep, soothing, healing heat to your computer mouse hand whenever you sit and work at the computer.

There's much to say about the healing effects of infrared heat. Yet, it's a well-hidden secret. The Eastern Countries have been using the healing effects of infrared heat for hundreds of years. Now, Western Medicine and practitioners are relying upon the use of infrared heat in hospitals, NASA Space Programs, and private practices. The most common use of infrared heat is the Infrared Sauna. Other sources are infrared heating pads and the introduction of infrared heated computer products.

Here's some interesting data about infrared heat: (source )

A study of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome found considerable relief of symptoms with daily Infrared treatment. Although the patients had been taking prednisone, a powerful medication used to temporarily dampen inflammation, this potent drug had shown no beneficial effects prior to administration of the heat therapy. After 15 to 25 sessions in a FIR sauna, the patients showed significant improvement in fatigue, pain, sleep disruption and low-grade fever. The patients were able to discontinue prednisone medication and showed no relapse of symptoms after a year, during which time they continued the infrared therapy once or twice weekly.
Infrared heat from a warm mouse is the same source of natural sunlight infrared heat without the harmful UV rays of the sun. Deep penetrating infrared heat delivers more oxygen-rich blood to painful or injured areas speeding up your body's own natural healing process. 15-30 minutes a day is all it usually takes to feel the results. And it works. FIR energy has been effectively used in the relief of pain from arthritis, back strains, bursitis, carpal tunnel, tendonitis, hemorrhoids, migraines, joint and muscle injuries, sciatica, frozen shoulder, lumbago, abdominal pain and diarrhea, rheumatism and more.
The infrared rays go to work breaking down toxins in your body-everything from environmental poisons, to toxic substances from food processing, to lactic acid, to free fatty acids, to subcutaneous fat (associated with aging and fatigue), to excess sodium (associated with hypertension), to uric acid (which causes pain). With this detoxification and improved circulation scores of chronic, even dangerous, health problems dramatically reduce or disappear all together: blood clots, iron deficiency, muscle cramps, high blood pressure, cold hands, pain, fatigue, skin problems, insomnia, etc.
Infrared heat penetrates deeply through the skin's layers to the muscle tissue heating your body to ward off invading organisms and enhancing the immune system. It helps protect and prevent illness and catches or inhibits illness from occurring.

Dear OT Connections Members:

As a member of the AOTA, I am seeking professionals to test and review my products free of charge.

I invented an OT support tool for hand injuries. It was introduced to the market in October 2008. It is designed to help heal the pain associated with computer mouse hand problems -- i.e. cold mouse hand, hand cramps, hand tingles, finger numbness -- as a result of medical conditions. It is called the Mouse Hand Warmer. It is a fleece blanket pouch to hold an USB heated warm mouse and USB heated warm mouse pad.

The 3 Mouse Hand Warmer products are:

Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch
Mouse Hand Warmer heated warm mouse
Mouse Hand Warm heated warm mouse pad

The three Mouse Hand Warmer products have been tested and they work to provide a healing, soothing mouse hand environment. The USB heat generating items are made with a carbon fiber which generates infrared heat. Infrared heat is proven to dissipate pain associated with carpal tunnel, Raynaud's, tendonitis, arthritis, poor circulation, and many other hand related conditions.

Please contact me through this forum, by email or through my website. You can click on the Contact Us link at http://www.IGMproducts.com.

Interested OT professionals will receive a 3-piece set of the Mouse Hand Warmer products to use and review. Students will receive a set of the items to use in a school project and review. My website and blogs are available for research and support.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you!
