Evaluation of a touch interface for the control of electric wheelchairs for people suffering from neuromuscular diseases

Abstract: International audience Power wheelchairs remain an efficient means of regaining mobility for many people around the world. Unfortunately, some are not able to use power wheelchairs because of difficulties using a standard joystick. People with neuromuscular diseases who experience a loss in muscular strength find it difficult to use of a joystick. In this paper, we explore steering power wheelchairs using a tactile interface on a smartphone. Eleven users with neuromuscular diseases tri… Show more

“…If we take neuromuscular diseases [3] as an example, the spectrum of manifestations can be very large: some patients may only have mobility problems while others may not be able to speak or even breathe naturally. In [4], authors discuss multiple manifestations of these diseases and how they can impact the design of a wheelchair steering system. The wide spectrum of deficiencies caused by such disease makes it hard to encompass a large spectrum of users with a single modality.…”
