This is a survey on computer use (PC, laptop or tablet) by pALS or their full-time caregivers.
It’s focus is Microsoft Windows but I need a complete picture, so if you use a different OS, such as iOS or Linux, please select the ‘Other’ Option:
Other – No Windows here!
The rest of the poll consists of combinations of your phase of progression: Early, Mid or Late as defined below.
- Early: Aware of ALS symptoms but fully capable
- Mid: Impacted noticeably, needing occasional to frequent assistance
- Late: Require assistance for most if not all needs
Combined with how frequently you OR your *full-time* caregiver use AND/OR have immediate access to a Windows computer as defined below.
- Frequent: If I'm awake, it's available
- Occasional: I can go without it for a few hours
- Seldom: I have one but seldom use it
Example: Per my definition, I’m Late stage, and use my PC part-time, so my option is -> Late / Occasional
