Mouse Alternatives
Mouse alternatives are designed for persons who have limited dexterity or arm strength, or have hand/arm injuries. They are typically designed so that the user does not need to make large finger or wrist movements. They may be designed so the user's hand is in a different position than with a traditional mouse. They may have an over-sized trackball or sensor ring so the user does not need to curl their fingers while scrolling.
