Innovative Power Wheelchair Control Interface: A Proof-of-Concept Study.
Some people without independent mobility are candidates for powered mobility but are unable to use a traditional power wheelchair joystick. This proof-of-concept study tested and further developed an innovative method of driving power wheelchairs for people whose impairments prevent them from operating commercial wheelchair controls. Our concept, Self-referenced Personal Orthotic Omni-purpose C...

متن کاملHMM based automated wheelchair navigation using EOG traces in EEG.
This paper presents a wheelchair navigation system based on a hidden Markov model (HMM), which we developed to assist those with restricted mobility. The semi-autonomous system is equipped with obstacle/collision avoidance sensors and it takes the electrooculography (EOG) signal traces from the user as commands to maneuver the wheelchair. The EOG traces originate from eyeball and eyelid movemen...
متن کاملDevelopment and testing of an innovative user-adjustable support surface for wheelchair seating discomfort.
Beginning in 2000, a study of discomfort experienced by wheelchair users and development of technology solutions were undertaken. This research culminated with the present study of a new technology targeting sitting discomfort. Support for development of the "Butt Scooter" prototype and its testing was provided through an NIH research grant. Investigators tested a prototype device, called the "...
متن کاملVarstiff, an innovative variable stiffness material, applied in a Wheelchair Positioning Device
Varstiff is a technology that allows a sheet material to switch from flexible to rigid state and vice versa by adjusting vacuum level through a pump. We used this Varstiff as base technology to design a Wheelchair Positioning Device. Main function of this device is to correctly position a stroke patient when seated in a wheelchair during hospital stay. Correct sitting posture supports motor reh...
