Joysticks in power wheelchairs can significantly increase independence and ease of use. Standard joysticks might not be able to accommodate the unique features of hand dysfunction.
This study assessed the effectiveness and satisfaction of custom-designed power wheelchair joysticks that were made using 3D printing technology. The test was conducted using modified power-mobility inside driving assessment (PIDA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index and Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale.
Control
The control system of a power chair comprises two essential components which are the joystick as well as the electronics (also called the controller). The standard joysticks are placed on either the left or right side of the wheelchair, whereas more sophisticated rehab chairs come with swing-away mounts that permit the joystick to be moved to the middle of the seat.
The manner in which a joystick can be placed and operated will play an important role in determining whether it can be successful for a particular user. For example in the case of someone who has significant tremors, it is essential to ensure that the joystick is designed in such a way that these movements do not trigger accidental activations of the chair. Standard EPW joysticks are proportional input devices that react to the deflection of the gimbal in order to control the chair's movement (similar to the video game controller or an accelerator in a car pedal).
There are a variety of alternatives to controlling power wheelchairs, that require very little force to activate. These include switches sip and puff control as well as head array systems and chin controls. While some of these special controls require a separate interface to connect them to the wheelchair, most are compatible with the new generation of joysticks that have integrated Bluetooth into their handles.
Some wheelchair joysticks have a screen to show the status of the system and provide feedback to the user. This is especially useful for people with visual or cognitive impairments. Other advanced joysticks have the ability to control various accessories, including environmental controls and even a tablet or TV.
Whatever technology is employed, a joystick can only be as useful as the user feels comfortable to use. For this reason, it is crucial to think about the size and location of the buttons on a joystick to ensure they are easy to access. It is also crucial to take into consideration the sensitivity of the joystick which can be adjusted to a range of levels according to the individual needs of the client.
Comfort
A joystick-controlled power wheelchair offers many benefits that aren't accessible with a manual chair. They help reduce fatigue due to operational factors and can travel for longer distances than manual-operated chairs. Additionally, they can be used in areas that are smaller and have more difficult terrain than a manual wheelchair, for example, uneven surfaces or slopes in the outdoors. With this added freedom users can enjoy a freedom of movement that breathes new life into their lives and reminds users of the feeling to be able to move around independently.
A variety of different power wheelchairs are offered with many options. The amount of bells and whistles that the particular model comes with will depend on what the user prefers and requires. Some of the most common features are:
Controls that can be customized on an electric Wheelchair wheels wheelchair with the joystick is a possibility to meet the needs of each individual. This includes the kind of knob or handle, or ball, and the way it is mounted. Some joysticks can be found at the end of the armrest of the driver's seat and others are positioned on the front or rear of the seat to make it easier for the an attendant to reach. They can also be placed on the side of the seat for those with limited shoulder mobility or muscles that are weak.
Other features are more personal to you, such as the size and design of the joystick display screen. Some models are backlit or have the color of the screen, which makes it easier for those with low-vision to read. Some models also have additional modes that provide audio or visual clues to aid in navigation. Other models may include odometers, clocks, and indicators for battery charge.
A joystick's ability to maneuver in a small turning radius is also essential. The best models will have a smaller turning radius, making it easier to maneuver through obstacles and narrow spaces, such as hallways. This narrow turning radius makes it easier to navigate through public spaces and stores. This tight turning circle is especially beneficial for those with mobility issues, such as cerebral palsy or other issues with mobility such as multiple sclerosis ALS and Huntington's disease, brainstem or spinal cord injury stroke.
Safety
Power wheelchairs are designed with safety as a top priority. They are equipped with reliable brake systems that can slow the speed as quickly as the user presses the joystick control. The chairs also come with anti-tip rear wheels that prevent the chair from tipping forward.
The most common type of joystick is a proportional control, which is similar to car accelerator pedals and video game controllers in that the more the joystick moves away from its center the more quickly the wheelchair moves. These kinds of joysticks require proprioception and finger dexterity in order to work effectively. A standard joystick is placed on the armrest, however, a variety specialty controls are available that place the controls in the middle or on the side of the seat.
Even with specialized rigging, certain people may not be able to deflect a handle. Some people with spasticity may have issues because their muscles can become stiff or atrophy. In these cases, it may be better to utilize a head-control unit that converts the movements of the consumer's body into the required commands for the wheelchair.
Another thing to take into consideration is the size and location of the joystick's buttons. If the buttons are located too far to the left or difficult to reach, it may affect the user's seating position and cause strain on their hands. On the other side when the joystick is placed too far backwards, it can be difficult to turn the wheels or move the chair into tight spaces.
Finally, an electric wheelchair is best used with a seatbelt secured. The most powerful wheelchairs can travel at speeds up to 8 mph, and an unfastened seatbelt can result in serious injuries or even death. Batteries must be charged regularly and preferably every night. This will allow them to have a longer life and ensure their efficiency. It is also recommended to have your chair checked regularly to ensure that all parts are operating effectively.
Accessories
Joysticks are a key component of power wheelchairs and can be enhanced by adding a variety. These range from simple switches, to more advanced interfaces that connect to communication devices and even external environment control units. The higher-end power wheelchairs usually have a variety of controller components that can meet the requirements of various clients. A non-expandable control will only accept a proportional stick as an input device while an expandable one can also take sip and puff controls, specialty switches, and head array systems. Some advanced controllers are able to use up to two power seating actuators that can be used to adjust the position and tilt of the seat.
The most basic type of joystick commonly prescribed in the clinic is a proportional control, also referred to as a movement sensing joystick. This type of joystick responds to the force by boosting output (i.e. The speed of the wheelchair increases as the stick moves away from the center. This requires a good amount of intact proprioception and dexterity for effective use.
While the technology that is in use today can compensate for small power chair variations in amplitude in EPW driving but it is not able to detect and adjust to many more severe accidental movements, such as those caused by larger magnitude tremors or other involuntary movements that are not associated with conscious intent like athetosis.5 In the meantime, until we develop and implement new technology that can reliably detect and adjust to these types of unintentional movements, a lot of people suffering from conditions such as athetosis, MS, ALS or spinal cord injuries will not be able safely to use an electric power chair.
Most wheelchairs can be customized and programmed by an expert. These parameters include changing the torque generated by the motor and adjusting the speed of the chair. They can also be used to set the dead zone which is the area at which the EPW will not produce an output. Some controllers will also be able to store backup programs, which is useful for a healthcare professional to keep in case in the event of an emergency or patients with varying symptoms.
