Abstract :
The Mouse Brace is a convenient device that is capable of replacing the existing optical mouse. It consists of a wrist brace that houses the mouse circuitry. The Mouse Brace is a sensor based device that consists of an accelerometer and two flex sensors. The Mouse Brace is also an excellent solution to the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome that may be induced due to excessive computer usage.
