Are you one who sits in front of the computer all day long, typing document after document while clicking your mouse with wanton abandon to go through the bunch of data provided by your boss? Well, while your feet have the luxury of getting massaged by an electronic foot massager, how about your poor hands? This is where the Xtensor comes in – it offers what its designers call “true biomechanical correctness.” Apparently, the device is said to “stimulate muscles and tendons in the hands, wrists and elbows that have been virtually off limits to all other devices. Repetitive gripping and squeezing of your game-controller or mouse forces extended isometric contractions of the flexor muscles of the hands and fingers producing an unnatural imbalance over time as the hands operate in a mostly closed position.” No idea if this will improve your gaming skills in the long run though.
