Millions of people around the world suffer from some form of tremor condition. In the UK alone an estimated 3 million people suffer from tremor.
If you have a tremor that affects your hand you’ll know how difficult it can be to operate a computer using a mouse. Simple tasks like opening an email or pressing a web button can be very difficult because of the erratic movements of the cursor on the screen and the problem of multiple clicking caused by a shaking finger.
The Assistive Mouse Adapter was invented by IBM to address this problem. It works by filtering out the unintentional movements of the hand caused by a tremor. The effect of the adapter is much smoother movement of the cursor on the screen and greatly improved accuracy of mouse operation.
The adapter works with most PCs and operating systems. No additional software is required; the device is simply plugged in between the computer and the mouse and can be switched on or off, and adjusted depending on the tremor severity. It can also be set to filter out unintended multiple clicking on the mouse.
The Assistive Mouse Adapter is an effective and unobtrusive solution to the problem of operating a computer mouse with a tremor condition. It can benefit users in homes, offices as well as in public places like libraries and universities.
