- •
Typing activity can be explored to monitor upper limb dysfunction in ALS.
- •
Delay for pressing and releasing keys is a marker of upper limb impairment; acceleration of finger movements contributes to monitor progression of upper limb dysfunction.
- •
Monitoring typing activity can be supported in assistive communication devices, as non-invasive tools for in-home monitoring of disease progression in ALS.
