This paper presents a new technique for detecting break points in computer mouse trajectories called Real time Break Point Detection (RBPD). The mouse trajectory from motor-disabled people contains a lot of break points. RBPD can detect these break points by adapting to the user’s tremor level. To test the effectiveness of this new technique, an experimental study involving five participants suffering from Parkinson’s disease (PD) was conducted. The test results showed that RBPD technique is effectiveness in detecting break points. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v11i5.2507
