Title :
The MARLArm [Mechanically Actuated Rotary Linear Adjustable Arm]
Abstract :
Describes and addresses the question of how an individual with a severe disability adjusts the height and rotational angle of his or her computer monitor with the use of a switch. The assistive technology device which the author has invented allows a person with a physical disability to fully adjust his or her computer monitor to a proper height and rotary angle by the use of a switch. The switch mechanism can range from a pneumatic sip and puff switch to any type of micro switch
