System and the way in which The Quill Mouse addresses the issues of blood circulation. Reduced blood circulation correlates with the occurrence of RSI symptoms and user fatigue and is a result of Static Limb Posture while mousing. It is usual in nature (that is to say in times prior to modern technology) that manual operations involving fingers and hands involved some degree of arm movement, so that the large upper arm muscles, not only designed to bear the greatest workload, also fulfill their secondary role as circulation pumps, helping to deliver oxygen and flush away toxins that otherwise accumulate in limb extremities, the fingers and hands. Runners 'pump' their arms as an aid to circulation and similarly Quill Mouse prescribes for the movement of the upper arm muscles so as to point the cursor while not requiring for a muscular grip by the fingers, so avoiding a Static Limb Posture. Devices that require extended and extensive finger activity, without arm movement, such as mice that are gripped or trackballs that require no arm movement at all, create a Static Limb Posture.
