Head wands and mouth sticks
People with motor disabilities use head wands and mouth sticks to perform tasks such as drawing, typing, pressing buttons, turning pages, and other interactive activities.
Here's how they work:
• Head wands are worn on the head and controlled by moving them. They offer greater precision than mouth sticks and allow users to keep their hands free for other tasks. However, they can be tiring and challenging for users with limited head or neck mobility.
• Mouth sticks are held in the mouth and controlled by the jaw or mouth muscles. They are better suited for these users, but can also cause discomfort after extended use.
