I've groused around all too often about my problems with using a cellphone or smartphone. One big problem has been an inability to press the right buttons firmly enough and accurately enough in such a small space as that phone screen is.
Now it seems that some researchers are developing a test of manual dexterity for people with MS that uses a smartphone, with a view toward replacing the 9-hole peg test that is often used. I've never taken the 9-hole peg test and haven't found out more about this new test than is described in this abstract but it interests me that others with MS may find using smartphones difficult.
