Hi! I would like to know if the hand in the up position is fixed that way, or can it be made to stay down?

The hands are not fixed. They are movable, and do not feel like they have pipe cleaner or any stiffener that would allow them to be fixed. I hope that helps.

When stop is mounted with one hole on top and 2 on bottom, then stop 'locks' into place in the up position. I guess you could flip it around, but when you want it 'up' I dont think it will lock in place for you.

I'm able to hold mine back up. I just twist it a little and it pretty much goes back the way it was.

The arm is fixed and does not go up or down. The TV will tilt forward or downward on the bracket that hooks to the tv.

It is very stable. When you look closely at the picture you will see that the hand rests are centered on the foot rests but the foot rests are much longer. Even if a person put their hands on the very front of the hand rests the center of gravity is far behind the front of the foot rest. My wife was quite weak and had no issues getting up. As she became stronger it worked just as well and she never had an issue with tipping forward. I also used it and found it to be very stable. My wife no longer needs this stand but we have kept it as she may in the future. I consider it a very sound purchase. It is very stable.

I see no reason why you can't just prop it up in front. The main feature is the tenting that keeps our hands in a more natural position.

Hello, It might be screwed in a bit tight for just fingertip pressure, but take a tool like pliers or needle nose, and it will come undone with just a little force applied.

No, it doesn't go up high enough to keep you from clenching. It will keep you from curling your wrist.

I have a little arthritis in my right hand and I don't have any trouble. The bar is not hard to adjust but you do need to be able to grip it and twist it to tighten. I really like mine, it works great!

It will keep your hand in a vertical position, but you will still need to use the left mouse button, perhaps with a different finger. This is designed for wrist relief, so I don't know about finger issues. Take your regular mouse, turn it on its side and try pressing the buttons and using the scroll wheel. That should answer your question.

It has a minimum tension only, it still requires some effort, like you were using about a 5 lb weight. It was also easier when I held it out at arms length, and used your other hand to stabilize it. I haven't set it any higher and it's been a couple of months.

yes, it does lock in the open position.The push button under the chin used to unlock the flip up part and raise it, is the same one used to unlock it from the raised position & lower it. Hope this helps you out.Ryan

It's fixed. You can lean forward easy enough by sitting up. The chair rocks forward but the back doesn't follow you.

It is fixed. If there were anything I would change it would be to make it swivel, but as is it does not get in the way. and really for the price you can't beat it.

Yes, your wrist will not be able to bend neither down or up. It works both ways due to the way it snuggles tightly and as the part laying on your wrist is not flexible.

No that shouldn't be a problem. It is not a soft close but one that you have to push closed. So it will also stay open in the up position which is nice.

I haven't found a solution to that problem yet. I try to position the holder high enough so there is the least amount of movement when not in my hand.
