“…Table 3 provides the mean, minimum, maximum, and percentile scores for the ACTP subtests. The effect sizes provided in Figures 1 and 2 put the differences between this study sample's and the sample scores of Dumont et al (33) into perspective. The negligible to small effect sizes and the 95% CIs crossing zero suggest that this study sample's keyboarding speed scores were comparable to the nonimpaired sample of Dumont et al (Figure 1).…”

“…The HAQ data were transformed into an overall HAQ DI score (32). Dumont et al (33) only reported the time score for the second administration of each test. We therefore only used the time score from the second administration of each of our tests for data analyses.…”

“…The nonimpaired sample consisted of people without impairment. Inclusion criteria for both groups included: 1) experience using a computer; 2) English speaking; 3) cognitively intact; 4) age Ն14 years; and 5) education level greater than elementary school (33). Data from these 2 normative samples were used as the comparison sample to answer this study's research question: How do keyboard and mouse speeds in a sample of computer users with RA compare with samples of computer users with and without impairments?…”

“…Outcomes are measured in seconds with higher scores indicating slower performances. The ACTP has adequate validity and good reliability and has normative data obtained on 30 individuals without impairment and 24 individuals with impairments (33). The impaired group consisted of people with upper extremity physical impairments or pain who might require assistive devices to use a computer.…”

Objective. To explore the associations between impairments in hand function associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and limitations in computer peripheral use. Methods. A total of 45 computer users with RA were recruited from the Arthritis Network Research Registry. Impairments in hand function were measured using the Keitel Hand Function Index, and the Arthritis Hand Function Test, while general activity limitations were measured with the Health Assessment Questionnaire. Speed of computer peripheral device use was obtained at a laboratory work station using the Assessment of Computer Task Performance (ACTP). Results. Multiple regression models suggested that keyboarding speed was significantly associated with touch typing training and age, while mouse speed was significantly associated with age. Impairments in hand function were significantly associated with only 2 of 7 keyboarding tasks and no mouse tasks. General activity limitations were associated with 2 of 7 keyboarding tasks and 2 of 5 significant mouse tasks. A comparison of this study's sample with a normative sample reported for the ACTP suggested that this sample's keyboarding speed was similar to a nonimpaired sample, while mouse speed was much slower. Conclusion. Reduced keyboarding speed is most strongly associated with touch typing skill. General activity limitations appear to be the strongest arthritis-related predictor of decreased computer use speeds. Many computer users with RA will not experience reduced productivity in typing speeds, although many may be slower than their nonimpaired counterparts for mouse use.
