Method Of Use
The "slipper" part of the curser controller is worn and controlled by one foot and moves around on the mouse pad as a hand mouse does. The pedal part with 5 buttons and the scroll roller are controlled by the other foot.

Factors To Consider
Before using the Foot Mouse, the chair should be adjusted so that the feet can easily and comfortably reach the control pedal and "slipper".
Regular breaks and foot exercises to prevent ankle and leg stress are necessary.
