1. A hand and wrist positioning and rest apparatus comprising:
- a first cylindrical shaped body having a cylindrical shaped side surface, a parabolic shaped planar top surface and a circular shaped planar bottom surface;
a second cylindrical shaped body having a cylindrical shaped side surface, a circular shaped planar top surface and a parabolic shaped planar bottom surface, wherein said first cylindrical shaped body is configured to be rotatably coupled to said second cylindrical shaped body such that said circular shaped planar bottom surface and said circular shaped planar top surface mate substantially flush against one another, and wherein said parabolic shaped planar top surface forms an angle of from about 0 degrees to about 20 degrees with said parabolic shaped planar bottom surface when said first and second cylindrical shaped bodies are rotatably coupled; and
a friction brake configured to prevent accidental rotational movement between said first and second cylindrical shaped bodies.

Abstract
An apparatus which reduces arm, wrist and shoulder stress and pain while using a computer mouse device. This apparatus includes an adjustable working surface which is capable of aligning the angle inclination as well as the angle of rotation of a mouse device user'"'"'s hand, wrist and forearm with respect to the stationary working surface of the structure on which the apparatus is resting while operating the mouse device. The apparatus is adaptable to fit any adult size and is capable of use with either the left or right hand.
