Abstract
An apparatus for adjusting a computer work station to individual needs including a frame having a keyboard support attached thereto. A vertical adjustment mechanism operatively attached to the frame permits the keyboard support to be adjusted vertically up or down. Also, a pivotal adjustment mechanism is operably attached to the frame and to the keyboard support for permitting the keyboard support to be adjustably pivoted about a substantially horizontal axis. A monitor support is provided and has a horizontal adjustment mechanism operably attached to the frame for selectively moving a monitor support toward or away from the keyboard support and the monitor support also can be adjusted vertically by a separate vertical adjustment mechanism. The adjusting mechanisms for the keyboard support and the monitor support are electrically controlled by the computer user. An adjustable wrist support and an adjustable foot support are also provided.
