Preliminary evaluation of a variable compliance joystick for people with multiple sclerosis. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(6):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2013.01.0023 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2013.01.0023JSP Aim – Evaluate whether participants with multiple sclerosis (MS) can drive electrical powered wheelchairs better with a variable compliance joystick (VCJ) and customizable algorithms or with a conventional wheelchair joystick. Relevance – Upper-limb fatigue may restrict people with MS from using their electrical powered wheelchair effectively and for long periods.

Preliminary evaluation of a variable compliance joystick for people with multiple sclerosis. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(6):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2013.01.0023 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2013.01.0023JSP Method 11 participants were randomly assigned to 2 groups. To complete virtual wheelchair driving tasks, each group used either VCJ in compliant or noncompliant isometric mode and a: – Standard algorithm. – Personally fitted algorithm. – Personally fitted algorithm with fatigue adaptation running in background.

Preliminary evaluation of a variable compliance joystick for people with multiple sclerosis. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(6):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2013.01.0023 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2013.01.0023JSP Conclusion Fatigue adaptation algorithms are especially beneficial in improving overall task performance while using VCJ in isometric mode. VCJ, along with personally fitted algorithms and fatigue adaptation algorithms, is a potentially effective input interface for wheelchairs.
