IBM a créé une souris qui aider les personnes souffrant de tremblements. Voir le site de IBM. Un parkinsonien de Montréal l’a acheté et est très satisfait de sa souris.

A mouse adapter for people with hand tremor			by J. L. Levine and M. A. Schappert
Hand tremor, which affects millions of individuals worldwide, can make it difficult or impossible to operate computers that rely on a mouse, or similar pointing device, for controlling the user interface. We describe an assistive adapter that, when inserted between the mouse and the computer, provides digital motion-smoothing filtering, rejection of inadvertent mouse button clicks, and enhanced double clicking. Because its behavior closely emulates a standard mouse, this setup is operating-system independent and requires no special software on the computer. Its assistive features are active for any application with a mouse-driven interface. In a preliminary test involving people with essential tremor, most subjects reported improvements ranging from moderate to considerable.
