Thank you for the replies. The HMC device does look interesting although way too big for my particular patient, who has Duchenne's MD. My patient can use a trackerpad successfully with a small amount of movement with minimal pressure of his index finger. The mounting of the mini-joystick from HMC is a tricky business when close to the body and I'm not a great fan of this one due to it's expense, delicate nature and what happens over the slightest bump in the pavement etc. Neil Gregory Senior Bio-Engineer WeSTMARC - West of Scotland Mobility and Rehabilitation Centre Southern General Hospital, Glasgow Email: [log in to unmask] Web: www.nhsggc.org.uk/westmarc Tel - 0844 8113001 (Lo-Call) Fax - 0141-201 2649 -----Original Message----- From: A discussion list for Assistive Technology professionals.

I know Dynamics had a small finger pot thing but would be concerned about liquid ingress.
