Per-arm endpoint measurements with 95% confidence intervals where reported. Source: trial results section.
Movement TimePrimary· 1 Day
Time needed to navigate a cursor to and select a target on a computer screen by control of head movement and facial muscle contractions for each AAC device, wherein lower movement times equate to better performance.

Path-to-Target Movement VariabilityPrimary· 1 Day
Path smoothness relative to the optimal, straight path between targets on a computer screen by control of head movement and facial muscle contractions for each AAC device. Variability is estimated as a distance of pixels as estimated from a computer screen operating with a resolution of 1920 pixels x 1080 pixels, wherein smaller variability scores equate to better performance.
