The purpose of this paper was to study the effect of speed and accuracy according to 4 different typing aids on computer keyboard and mouse use, and it had performed for 7 months from September, 2001 to April, 2002.
The subjects of this study were 11 of C6-C7 complete injury patients who had no visual perception deficit, and four styles of the typing aids, finger, slip-on, band, and modified finger, were used in this study.
The measured result according to 4 typing aids in typing speed showed that a modified finger typing aid was 41.09 as the highest performance and a bend typing aid was 33.27 as the lowest performance. The typing speed through styles was statistically significant(p < .05).
The measured result according to typing aid style in typing accuracy showed that a bend typing aid was 96.45% as the highest performance and a finger typing aid was 95.45% as the lowest performance. The typing accuracy through styles was not statistically significant(p > .05).
The results of this study showed that modified typing aid is the most efficient among four styles. Therefore, modified typing aid may be an available typing aid having both functional and cosmetic factors for C6-C7 complete injured patients. In the future use of the modified typing aid should be needed much more as well as its reevaluation should be performed.
