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）：目标是设计、构建并临床评估针对运动障碍的自适应无线计算机鼠标 (AWCM)。开发将集中于帕金森病（PD）和特发性震颤（ET）。 PD的主要症状包括震颤、运动障碍、运动迟缓和强直。 ET 会产生影响运动功能的震颤。这些疾病的症状对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。标准计算机鼠标将用户手的移动转换为计算机显示器上的光标位置。 PD 和 ET 症状会产生噪音，从而掩盖用户意图信息。噪音可能以不自主运动的形式出现，例如震颤或运动障碍，或者以运动迟缓或僵硬难以启动运动的形式出现。该提案的具体目标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 是一种可穿戴计算机配件，旨在增强运动障碍患者的计算机和互联网访问能力。这种拟议的辅助设备将允许个人保持计算机独立感，在工作/家庭中保持计算机熟练，并可以提高他们的社交、经济和学习能力
