Mouth sticks and head pointers are designed for people with limited strength and dexterity to perform activities like drawing, typing, pressing buttons, turning pages, etc. It is a widely used assistive device with a rubber tip at one end for better tip interaction. At the other end, there is a plastic or rubber feature that is inserted into the mouth to control the movement of the mouth stick. Head pointer sticks are similar to mouth sticks in function, except for the fact that their stick is strapped to the head.
Whether using a mouth stick or pointer, the user makes head movements in order to move the device to a desired location on a touch screen, keyboard, or book to get the desired results. These assistive devices can help the user in manipulating a pencil, pen, or paintbrush and make them more independent by allowing them to turn pages. They even allow you to play games or use a touchscreen computer without any assistance.
