Wheelchair Accomodation

Quadriplegics can operate a powered wheelchair with a unique tongue drive system or the use of a technology specific headband.  An assistive technology that enables individuals to maneuver a powered wheelchair or control a mouse cursor using simple tongue movements can be operated by individuals with high-level spinal cord injuries.  This system allows individuals with disabilities to operate a computer, control a powered wheelchair and interact with their environments simply by moving their tongues.  

For people with severe physical disabilities, such as spinal cord injury, quadriplegia and hemiplegia or amputation, current technology for controlling a wheelchair or mobility scooter is inadequate.There are now chairs available with an inexpensive webcam and a bio-signal sensing headband that can be used to control the steering and propulsion of the electric wheelchair.


For some, these chairs may be unattainable through their personal financial resources.  There are many different styles and versions of the wheelchair that can suit any individual in need of such equipment.
