Summary:[...]scientific and technological advances have to be proposed to take this reality into account. [...]elderly users with osteoarthritis of the thumb as rhizarthrosis (or trapeziometacarpal) experience pain during and after using such devices. According to the proposed medical protocol, during the tests, subjects (in sitting position) had to only use their predominant thumb finger when touching the screen. In the near future the study will be deepened in order to determine strap's true utility and if so to optimize its ergonomics. [...]it is expected that through further study about people interaction with electronic devices, they will fill more comfortable while using these new technologies.
