" If you&amp;#039;re like one of the estimated 1.3 million Americans who have suffered from a hand or wrist injury this year, you&amp;#039;ll be glad to learn about some of the gadgets I saw earlier this month at the CEA (Consumer Electronic Association) Line Show. I was stunned by the amount and diversity of ergonomic devices I saw.  For instance, Smartfish Technologies provides a tool aimed at preventing physiological ailments such as arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Smartfish Technologies accomplishes this by removing the stress of repetitive use, reducing operator fatigue and discomfort. The Tru:Motion Wireless Mouse ($59) is designed to follow the natural movement of the hand and the Pro:Motion Keyboard ($149) repositions itself periodically on 3 axes (height, angle, radial position). These products will be available starting August 1st.    Contour Design offers other unique ergonomic products. Their latest is the RollerMouse ($220). The design shies away from the traditional in an attempt to alleviate neck, shoulder and elbow pain associated with reaching for a traditional mouse. The device works by using your fingertips to roll a narrow bar up and down and from side to side to navigate the cursor. Todd and I both attempted this while we were there - it took a little getting used to but we could see the added convenience it provides.  We also had a chance to check out the ergonomic solution from Lightglove. The virtual controller eliminates the need for a mouse with its no-touch interface. Motion sensors allow you to control cursor or key controls. This device will not be offered until February 2010 and will be priced at $399.
