Drag your finger to the em dash (or whichever you need), and your correct punctuation appears. Pads mostly containing numbers and used with computers are numeric keypads. Hold down the hyphen key to reveal three more marks: an en dash, em dash, and bullet. The differences in thumb flexion were found only in the group with shorter hands and the differences in muscle activity was found only in the group with longer hands. A keypad is a block or pad of buttons set with an arrangement of digits, symbols, or alphabetical letters. When texting on the touchscreen phone compared to the keypad phone thumb flexion (p = 0.008) and flexion/extension range of motion were smaller (p = 0.02), the thumb was on average less internally rotated (p = 0.02), and activity (50th and 90th percentile) of the thumb and forearm muscles was lower (p ≤ 0.05). The dual tones of the phone keypad do not all line up exactly with musical notes, so not every song can be played on a phone keypad. Press the number sequence 55425 25875 to play the song Funky Town with your phone’s keypad. For example, Im trying to connect to a webex and Im able to call the webex number but when I try to enter the conference ID, I can hear the tone of each key being pressed but webex doesnt pick up on any of the keys being pressed. If your phone does not make these sounds, you cannot play music on the keypad. While making a call, the keypad doesnt work. The thumb kinematics were tracked using a 3D motion analysis system and muscle activity was registered in six upper limb muscles using surface electromyography in 19 participants. Everything seems to be working great so far except for one feature. Furthermore, the study compared exertion, discomfort, and performance when texting on the two phones. This study aimed to compare thumb kinematics and upper limb muscle activity, and the influence of hand size, when texting on a keypad smartphone and a touchscreen smartphone.
