Yes, that would explain why so many disabled people craft.
The repetitive motion helps them not only forget their pain,
it actually lessens it to some degree.
I kept telling people in the local support group here that 
they ought to find a craft they liked and could do without
too much extra pain and stress, and they looked at me like I
was nuts.  Now I have proof!
