Hi

I am looking for information about the practical use of head mice. I am trying to find out how people get on with using them in the long term. Do people find they are OK to use, or does your neck / back ache? Any feedback about them would be appreciated.

The reason I ask is that I am an Occupational Therapist, and as a service, we provide people with Head mouse extreme or SmartNav from our NHS service, but we rarely get much long term feedback, and I am interested in how it goes after we have stopped being involved.

I've tried to find some research about physical implications for using them (eg RSI type things in the neck), but couldn't find anything. I also looked for research around the use of chin joysticks as the movements could be considered similar, but again couldn't find anything.

I would be grateful if you could share your accounts with me.

Thanks for reading

Chicken Lady
