Abstract
For people with functional impairments, independent control of a computer is often an important part of everyday life. However, in order to be of benefit, computer systems must be accessible. For people with motion-impairments, the keyboard, mouse and monitor arrangement can be difficult, if not impossible, to use. Symptoms such as tremor, spasm, restricted range of motion, and reduced strength can often restrict the extent to which a keyboard and mouse are useful.
