Your typing speed can reveal Parkinson’s disease

Web Desk: New research has found a person’s typing speed can reveal early signs of Parkinson’s disease, reported Daily Mail.

Parkinson’s disease is an illness that affects the part of your brain that controls how you move your body. Parkinson’s disease symptoms include muscle rigidity, tremors, and changes in speech and gait. After diagnosis, treatments can help relieve symptoms, but there is no cure.


A person’s way of pressing different keys indicates if he is suffering from hand tremors, a symptoms of the condition. It is one of the most early sign of Parkinson’s disease. About six years before a person is diagnosed with this disease.

For the study, the team examined 76 people for nine months. 27 of them had a mild form of the condition that did not need to be treated with medication. 15 were found to have hand tremors, but it did not mean they had Parkinson’s.

A programmed was installed in each participant’s at-home computer keyboards to be able to monitor how fast they typed.According to report, their typing speed was compared against the standard frequency of a Parkinson’s patient’s hand tremor, which is 4-to-6 Hz.

N a puny cohort study which apparently didnt have even one parkinsons patient,,great.

Op might aswell have added hindoo mc bc as a note,might have got him a positive rating

There are two major types on pdf (i) commentators (ii) thread/news posters...
It is the first kinds that types a lot more than the copy-pasters of the second category

My typing speed is around 85 WPM.

I may have slowed down bit now because but I had been around 80-90 wpm.. though I didn't check since a long time but mostly I'm able to post quite a posts here, in addition to replying official emails and office work.

It seems to be not as much as "Typing Speed" but more on the lines of how long you hold the key and how fast you release it tells something about the fine motor control.

I was pretty fast at typing, I had to be because back then when I use to be in Yahoo Chat rooms, people with fastest fingers dominated chat rooms. We use to have gangs and all sort of fun stuff, so people with slow fingers couldn't really survive. I prefer typing on mechanical keyboards. I sometimes do evaluate my typing speed on 10-fastest-fingers dot com and my range is 80 - 95 WPM.

results are good as the monitoring body and one being monitored. as is objections on Pakistan's nuclear capability as rest of the world, and the more recent 2018 voting mechanism of ECP which is under under fire.
