目前唯一可用的用于定量测量儿童肌张力障碍严重程度的量表需要观察者的评分，并且在单个肢体的评分中提供的粒度很差。最近出现的低成本、高质量的触摸屏表明，这些设备可以用于量化上肢的严重程度。在这项研究中，我们评估了使用Apple iPad®在一项简单的定点任务中测试速度和准确性的情况。我们比较了13名健康成人、15名健康儿童和16名患有原发性或继发性肌张力障碍的儿童的能力。菲茨定律所描述的线性关系对所有的群都适用。运动时间和传递的信息与年龄和严重程度有关。我们的结果为使用Fitts定律作为儿童肌张力障碍定量诊断工具的可用性和有效性提供了证据。此外，在触摸屏平板电脑上进行测试可能有助于指导用户界面的设计，以最大限度地提高依赖辅助通信设备的儿童的通信速度。
The only currently available scales for quantitative measurement of the severity of childhood dystonia require human observer ratings and provide poor granularity in the scores for individual limbs. The recent availability of low-cost high-quality touchscreens suggests that these devices could be used for quantification of upper extremity severity. In this study we evaluated the use of an Apple iPad® for testing speed and accuracy in a simple pointing task. We compared the abilities or thirteen healthy adults, fifteen healthy children, and sixteen children with primary or secondary dystonia. The linear relation described by Fitts’ Law held for all the groups. The movement time and the information transmitted were age and severity related. Our results provide evidence for the usability and validity of using Fitts’ Law as a quantitative diagnostic tool in children with dystonia. Furthermore, testing on touch-screen tablets may help to guide the design of user interfaces to maximize communication rate for children who depend upon assistive communication devices.
