I would like to offer a different perspective here. I have Parkinson’s Disease and, while it is not severe (and my docs do not think it will be), I have come to appreciate just how much subtle motor control It takes to use the iPhone touch screen. The one thing I have had to give up because of Parkinson’s that made me sad is using a slate and stylus, which is something I used to do daily with considerable speed and accuracy... in fact,that was the impetus that sent me to the neurologist. I also have occasional difficulty controlling how many times I tap something,be it the iPhone screen or my Victor when I enter the title of a book with that cockamainey texting system it uses.
I am using a Bluetooth keyboard to type this message which, as indicated by its length, presents no problem for me. It is the subtle control needed to punch dot 4 instead of 1 with a stylus, or to double tap on the phone that is challenging.
