dc.description.abstract | People who suffer from Parkinson’s Disease
face many challenges using computers, and mice are
particularly problematic input devices. This article describes
usability tests of standard peripherals for use
by people with Parkinson’s Disease in order to search
for optimal combinations relative to the needs of this
user group. The results are used to determine their effect
upon inertia, muscle stiffness, tremor, pain, strain
and coordination and show that widely available equipment
could significantly improve mouse pointer control
for many users. The results reflect the diversity of
challenges experienced by computer users with Parkinson’s
Disease, and also illustrate how projector-based
technology may improve computer interaction without
risking strain injuries. | en_US |
