ErgoRest Forearm Support with Extended Pole
Imagine finishing a full day of work without that familiar ache building in your forearms, wrists, and shoulders. The ErgoRest Forearm Support with Extended Pole makes that possible. By cradling your forearm in a floating, freely pivoting rest that moves with you — not against you — ErgoRest eliminates the static muscle load that accumulates over hours of keyboard and mouse use, quietly preventing the repetitive strain injuries that sideline professionals at the peak of their productivity.
Trusted by occupational therapists, ergonomic consultants, and enterprise workstation programs worldwide, the ErgoRest is the gold standard in forearm support — and the Extended Pole variant is specifically designed for workstations where standard mounting reach is insufficient, including sit-stand desks, L-shaped desks, and deep-surface configurations.
Key Features
- Freely pivoting forearm platform — moves naturally with arm motion, eliminating friction and static load
- Extended pole for greater reach — ideal for sit-stand desks, deep desk surfaces, and non-standard workstation configurations
- 360° horizontal swing arm — positions the rest precisely where your arm naturally falls
- Adjustable height and angle — accommodates a wide range of desk heights, chair heights, and user anatomies
- Universal desk clamp mount — attaches securely to desk edges without drilling; no permanent modification required
- Durable, professional-grade construction — built for full-time daily use in office, healthcare, lab, and enterprise environments
- Reduces forearm, wrist, and shoulder strain — clinically recommended for RSI prevention and management
- Compatible with keyboard, mouse, and stylus workflows — supports both left- and right-hand use

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the standard ErgoRest and the Extended Pole version?
The Extended Pole version features a longer mounting pole, giving the swing arm greater horizontal reach from the desk clamp. This is essential for sit-stand desks (where the clamp must be positioned further back), deep desk surfaces, corner/L-shaped desks, and any configuration where the standard pole cannot position the rest directly under the user's forearm.
Will the ErgoRest help with my RSI, tendinitis, or carpal tunnel symptoms?
Yes. The ErgoRest is specifically designed to offload the static forearm and wrist muscle load that accumulates during prolonged keyboard and mouse use — the primary driver of RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tendinitis in desk workers. By allowing the forearm to float and pivot freely, it eliminates the postural tension that causes cumulative injury. For a personalized assessment, we recommend pairing this with an ergonomic evaluation from our certified specialists.
Does the ErgoRest clamp damage my desk?
No. The ErgoRest uses a padded universal clamp that attaches to the desk edge without drilling or permanent modification. It is safe for wood, laminate, glass, and metal desk surfaces. The clamp accommodates desk edges up to approximately 63 mm (2.5 in) thick.
Is the ErgoRest compatible with sit-stand desks?
Yes — and the Extended Pole version is specifically recommended for sit-stand desks. The longer pole provides the reach needed to position the forearm rest correctly regardless of desk height setting. The height-adjustable arm accommodates both seated and standing positions.
Can the ErgoRest be used on both left and right sides?
Yes. The ErgoRest is fully ambidextrous and can be configured for left- or right-hand use. Many users purchase two units — one for each arm — for complete bilateral forearm support.
What desk thickness does the clamp support?
The universal clamp accommodates desk edges up to approximately 2.5 inches (63 mm) thick, covering the vast majority of standard office desks, standing desks, and workbenches.
Is the ErgoRest suitable for healthcare or laboratory environments?
Yes. The ErgoRest's durable, cleanable construction makes it well-suited for clinical, laboratory, and manufacturing workstations. Contact us for enterprise or bulk procurement pricing.
Do I need a professional ergonomic assessment to set up the ErgoRest correctly?
While the ErgoRest is straightforward to install, optimal positioning depends on your chair height, desk height, monitor distance, and keyboard/mouse placement working together as a system. A professional assessment ensures you get the full clinical benefit. Book an ergonomic consultation with our certified specialists.
