Joystick

Tremor

The sensitivity of the joystick can be reduced so that small movements of the joystick do not affect the behavior of the wheelchair.

Muscle weakness

Changing the settings can, for example, reduce the effort required to move the joystick out of the neutral position.

The forward/reverse control can also be inverted. In this case, pulling the joystick back will move the wheelchair forward.

Reduced and limited fine motor skills

If limited fine motor skills do not allow movement in one direction or only allow it to a limited extent, the required deflection of the joystick to move the wheelchair in this specific direction can be reduced.

Reduced range of motion

It is possible to define a smaller range of motion for the joystick to operate the wheelchair. This is applicable to specific directions, where the unaffected directions do not need to be changed.

The forward/reverse control can also be inverted. In this case, pulling the joystick back will move the wheelchair forward.

Spasticity

With impaired range of motion and/or increased muscle tone, the strength of the deflection or the zone in which the joystick input results in movement of the wheelchair can be reduced or enlarged.

Turning speed

With this setting the speed of turning can be changed. When the slider is positioned all the way to the left, turning is reduced to minimum speed.

Invert Joystick

This setting allows the right/left movement of the joystick to be inverted in the app. This makes it easier for an attendant to operate the wheelchair using the assistant control.
