You can try the Evoluent (vertical mouse - right or left hand), being a
vertical mouse the hand is in a neutral posture with a thumb support. A
number of my clients with MS have found this to be beneficial. If the person
accidentally hits the mouse occassionally the dialogue box can be
deactivated by pressing escape. another option is the touchpad mouse and on
some these the second mouse button can be reduced in sensitivity.
Another option is to use Mousetool which does away with clicking. See
www.mousetool.com for details.
If the client is having problems with the keyboard then a keyguard will
prevent accidental activation of another key.
Out of interest I have an article in May's edition of Occupational Health
Review on assistive technology and reasonable adjustments.
Hope this helps
