Abstract

An ergonomic occupational health support device that supports the arm and/or shoulder during difficult prolonged periods of arm abduction. The described apparatus, methods and systems of ergonomic arm support reduce the muscle fatigue of an operator's arm when held in the abducted or reaching position and thereby optimize muscle recovery. Muscle fatigue caused by the stress on the upper extremity muscles of the shoulder and arm of an operator (e.g., a sonographer) is greatly reduced when placed into the arm cradle of the disclosed apparatus and will diminish or disappear as the muscles are able to relax and be refreshed.
