Design and Evaluation of an Alternative Control Interface for Power Wheelchairs

Book Description
There is evidence that there is a population of people who are in need of independent mobility, but are unable to achieve it through the use of a power wheelchair (PW) due to a lack of adequate control interfaces. However, it has been observed that there are individuals among this population who have useful motor output channels, which could potentially be used to control a PW if practical sensing technology for these outputs were available. In order to test whether or not these motor outputs can be harnessed to provide input to a control interface, the project presented in this thesis undertook the design, construction, and refinement of a new control interface system that can be readily adapted to an individual's particular impairment, in order to provide reliablecontrol of a PW. The resulting system of controls is referred to as SPOOCI, an acronym for Self-Referenced Personal Omni-Purpose Orthotic Control Interface. This new system revolves around the use of a pneumatic pressure sensing interface, which can be placed anywhere on the user where a reliable voluntary action (either force or motion) can be generated.
