It's carpal tunnel for the carpal and metacarpal bones in the hand.

CompuAdd is listing several very inexpensive (~$20.00) keyboard drawers 
that mount under the desk. You need two things: a keyboard height of about
25 to 27 inches rather than the desk height of 29 to 30 inches, and a wrist
rest which is a bar about 1-1/2 inch wide at the fron of the keyboard
drawer and about one inch high. The keyboard drawer will pull out from
the bottom surface of the desk giving you more space. There is also a
mouse platform that can be attached. If you can, go look in one of the
CompuAdd stores as there are several models of drawers listed. Sorry I
don't have the phone, but they advertise in most PC magazines.

No connection, etc., just browsing catalogs and noticed low price.
