Mouse-Cage is a software application that helps people with hand tremor control their computer mouse.
Mouse-Cage was developed for people with Essential Tremor (ET), Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and other conditions that may cause hand shake or tremor.
The application features an unusual dual-cursor. A special guide cursor provides visual feedback by showing the user’s actual hand movements, while the normal Windows cursor takes an average of these movements and predicts where the user intends to click.

from these symptoms.
