ErgoMotion™: Healthy Computing
By applying motion to experiences, ErgoMotion™ is
redefining ergonomics and changing the future of computing
comfort forever!
Motion Heals
ErgoMotion™ is built on the concept that movement is the
key to healthier computing. The medical community has long
supported movement to be beneficial to the human body,
which promotes blood flow and decreases inflammation.
Inadequate blood circulation and inflammation are both
considered key contributors to Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI).
8 ErgoMotion™: Healthy Computing

ErgoMotion™ Benefits
ErgoMotion is a revolutionary technology that actually
reduces the risks of Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). The
ErgoMotion Laser Mouse challenges other “fixed position”
mice by utilizing a patented pivot base that adapts to your
natural hand and wrist movements. The mouse conforms
to your unique positions and moves with your hand and
wrist while you work. This type of movement increases
blood flow in your hand and wrist, which prevents
irritation to the tendons and reduces the chance of injury.
Smartfish’s computer peripherals are just the first of
many applications of the ErgoMotion™ technology.
ErgoMotion is a technology movement redefining what
ergonomics should be, and revolutionizing the future of
true comfort.

10 ErgoMotion™: Healthy Computing
ErgoMotion™: Healthy Computing
How It Works
The mouse will rock, swivel or pivot with your movement so
your hand and wrist are never in a fixed position, creating
the most comfortable and healthy mousing experience ever!
Lateral Pivot
Left and right wrist rotations provide constant freedom to
move, allowing the hand and wrist to find the most neutral
hand position for all mouse postures during use.
Slide

Forward / Reverse Pivot
The pivot base not only provides a natural side-to-side
motion, but simultaneously moves forward and back so your
wrist is never confined. This allows your to palm guide the
mouse around your desktop while your fingers are relaxed
to focus on clicking.

ErgoMotion™: Healthy Computing
Smartfish partnered with New York’s Hospital for Special
Surgery (HSS) to study the affects motion would have on
a user while they compute. It was the collaboration with
HSS that helped develop ErgoMotion™ proving subtle,
even incremental movement would increase blood flow
and reduce inflammation eliminating the risks of RSI.

computer or with a mouse and/or keyboard. Symptoms like these can be
associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders
of the nerves, muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body. Please visit
www.hss.org and search Repetitive Stress Injury to learn more.
