3. Foot mouse

A foot mouse can be used by a person who has limited or no use in their upper arms.

The foot mouse can be used to navigate through software programs and select things in much the same way as a conventional mouse.

Most foot mice consist of two segments. One segement will be used to control the cursor, the second segment is used to click the mouse or to select shortcuts.

Most foot mice include straps that help to hold the device in place on the foot during use. A long cable runs from the mouse and plugs into the computer via a USB port.
