Evaluation of an isometric and a position joystick in a target acquisition task for individuals with cerebral palsy.
Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) with upper limb disability have difficulty operating standard computer input devices such as, a mouse and a keyboard. The present study evaluated the performance of unimpaired individuals and those with CP in the use of a zero-order spring-centered position joystick and a zero-order isometric joystick when interacting with the computer. We hypothesize that the isometric device due to its stiff resistance would provide better control on cursor movement than the position joystick. The subjects acquired differently sized targets at different distances by positioning a cursor on the target. Performance with the position joystick was superior to that of the isometric joystick. The time to acquire the target was directly proportional to the cursor-target distance A, and indirectly proportional to the target size W. Subjects chose to move more slowly toward the smaller and closer targets and they increased speed for larger and more distant targets. The phase-plane diagram that plots values of the velocity profile of the cursor over its displacement revealed the presence of one large amplitude movement that accounts for the peak velocity of the cursor, and several submovements. Fitts' index of difficulty, log(e)(2W/A) was found to be a good predictor of the movement time in a cursor positioning task for both, unimpaired individuals and those with CP.
