Abstract
Movement plays an integral role in human-computer interaction. In particular, mouse movements can occupy as much as 65% of the time spent interacting with a graphical user interface (Johnsonet al 1993). However, for users with impaired motion, symptoms such as tremor, spasm, and co-ordination difficulties can make it often difficult, and sometimes impossible, to perform the movements required to control a mouse accurately (Trewin and Pain, 1999).
