Abstract
Accessing computers is a difficult task for people with severe physical disabilities, even though they are equipped with an alternate mouse. The purpose of this study was to design an AutoMouse for the clients with severely physical impairments including those who are with amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), and muscular dystrophy (MD). Through the use of AutoMouse, a click free operation environment was provided to the users. The results indicated that the client, when using the AutoMouse, had easier access to computers.
