Is there a keyboard and/or mouse made for limited motor control, like for shaking Parkinsons patients?

GrammarDiva asked:
My mom has Parkinson’s and arthritis. She has trouble controlling the mouse functions. Specifically, it’s hard for her to manipulate the mouse when she is shaking from the Parkinson’s. The keyboard is similarly problematic, though to a lesser degree. I am asking if anyone has ideas for overcoming such challenges. Thanks for your help!

In the meantime until you find what you are looking for.
You may be able to help her by going into the control panel/ mouse and adjusting the acceleration and sensitivity of the mouse and turn them all the way down. As for the keyboard, the only thing I can think is the “sticky keys” options included in windows. This is activated by repeatedly tapping the right hand shift key (I think 5 times).
Other than that I haven’t any ideas except do a google search, or check web md and wikipedia.
I hope this helps.

Go to Control Panel and adjust the mouse settings to the LEAST sensitivity.
You can get a “Tacktile” keyboard. It is a keyboard that makes you press the keys all-the way down until it “clicks” (you can hear the clicks when the keys have been depressed far enough), it will help prevent inadvertant key presses.
