McAlindon, Peter J. and Jentsch, Florian G. (1999): An Alternative Keyboard for Typists with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. In: Bullinger, Hans-Jörg (ed.) HCI International 1999 - Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction August 22-26, 1999, Munich, Germany. pp. 162-166.

McAlindon, Peter J., Stanney, Kay M. and Silver, N. Clayton (1996): The Keybowl: An Ergonomically Designed Document Processing Device. In: Second Annual ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies 1996. pp. 86-93.

“This paper discloses preliminary findings and provides a discussion of a newly designed alphanumeric input device called the Keybowl. The Keybowl was designed and developed primarily as an alternative input device to allow users of various upper extremity disabilities to effectively type, interact with, and navigate current computer interface designs. In addition, the Keybowl's unique characteristics of adapting to the user's needs may provide a solution to the multi-million dollar a year problem of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) as it relates to typing. The Keybowl totally eliminates finger movement, minimizes wrist movement, and uses the concept of concurrent independent inputs (i.e., chording) in which two domes are moved laterally to type. Initial results indicated that users of the Keybowl typed an average of 52% of their regular QWERTY flatboard keying speed in as little as five hours. With regard to ergonomic advantage, Keybowl typists' flexion/extension wrist movements were reduced by an average of 81.5% when compared to typists using the QWERTY keyboard. Movements in the ulnar/radial plane were reduced by an average of 48%.”

Kline, Paul B. and McAlindon, Peter J. (1992): A Human Factors Tool Kit. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 568-571.

“The variety of tools and techniques available to help the human factors professional apply basic research data to the real world is constantly increasing. Despite this, there are few available sources of objective information about tools. Most of the information available to practitioners comes in the form of advertisements and professional contacts. Unfortunately, the emphasis is often on newest or latest when less expensive 'low tech' solutions may work just as well. Moreover, there are likely tools or techniques known to practitioners in one area of the human factors that are unknown to individuals in other areas of the discipline. The current effort seeks to identify tools useful to the human factors professional and to increase awareness of existing tools which can facilitate the application of Human Factors data to the real world. An added emphasis was placed on those tools which can be employed easily and inexpensively.”
