| Abstract: |
Typing brace apparatus includes a rigid yoke having an upper pair of yoke arms, each yoke arm having a forward end; a leg of the yoke depending downwardly from an intersection of the yoke arms; padding affixed to an inner surface of the yoke; and a pair of straps depending downwardly from the forward end of each yoke arm. A first step of each of the two strap pairs is an elbow strap having an elbow cup at a distal end of the elbow strap and a second strap is a wrist strap having a first human wrist engaging-loop at a distal end of the wrist strap. Buckle for adjusting the length of the straps are included. In one preferred embodiment a waist band for encircling a human waist is operably connected to the yoke leg for stabilizing the yoke leg with respect to the two pairs of straps and the trunk or waist of the typist's body. In a second preferred embodiment, a bracket for attaching the yoke leg to a chair is connected to the yoke leg, again for stabilizing the yoke leg with respect to the two pairs of straps.
