Abstract

The article focuses on the design of a computer mouse holder adapted to the needs of people with hand disabilities, using modern technologies such as CAD design and 3D printing. The goal of the study was to create an ergonomic, functional and easy-to-use solution that would support users' independence in using computer technology. The design process was based on an iterative approach, allowing systematic improvements based on testing and user feedback. The study presents the successive stages of the work - from needs analysis, concept creation, prototyping, to design optimization and final handle design. The use of 3D printing technology made it possible to quickly and cost-effectively produce successive versions of the device and test them under real conditions. The study incorporated the idea of inclusive design, pointing to the potential of modern technologies in creating personalized solutions to support people with mobility barriers in their daily activities.
