DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective is to design, build, and clinically assess an Adaptive Wireless Computer Mouse (AWCM) for movement disorders. Development will focus on Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). Major symptoms of PD include tremor, dyskinesias, bradykinesia, and rigidity. ET produces tremors that affect motor function. Symptoms from these diseases have a large effect on upper extremity motor control for afflicted patients. One activity affected is using a mouse for computer cursor control. A standard computer mouse translates user hand movement to cursor position on the computer display. PD and ET symptoms create noise that can mask user intention information. Noise may be in the form of involuntary movements such as tremor or dyskinesias or in the form of difficulty in initiating movements from bradykinesia or rigidity. The specific aim of this proposal is to develop and assess an AWCM that can detect a specific movement disorder symptom and provide compensation. The proposed AWCM is a wearable computer accessory to enhance computer and Internet access for those with movement disorders. This proposed assistive device would allow individuals to maintain their sense of computer independence, remain computer proficient at work/home, and may improve their social, economic, and learning capabilities

描述（由申请人提供）：目的是设计，构建和临床评估自适应无线计算机鼠标（AWCM）的运动障碍。发展将集中在帕金森氏病（PD）和基本震颤（ET）上。 PD的主要症状包括震颤，运动障碍，心发肌动力和僵化。 ET产生影响运动功能的震颤。这些疾病的症状对受伤患者的上肢运动控制有很大影响。受影响的一项活动是使用鼠标进行计算机光标控制。标准的计算机鼠标将用户手动移动转换为光标在计算机显示器上的位置。 PD和ET症状会产生可以掩盖用户意图信息的噪声。噪声可能是以非自愿运动的形式，例如震颤或动力障碍，或以难以发起的运动或刚度发动运动的形式。该建议的具体目的是开发和评估可以检测特定运动障碍症状并提供补偿的AWCM。拟议的AWCM是可穿戴的计算机配件，可增强运动障碍者的计算机和互联网访问。该提出的辅助设备将使个人能够保持自己的计算机独立感，在工作/家庭中保持计算机的熟练程度，并可以提高其社交，经济和学习能力
