We are looking for a motivated production worker for our small but growing company located in Nevele. We develop, produce and commercialize medical devices for users of power wheelchairs (e.g. joysticks).
Let’s step away from the finished wheelchair drive control for a moment to zoom in on a small component. An indispensable part, the printed circuit board (PCB). The PCBs that are part of our wheelchair joysticks are assembled by Page Electronica, a company located in Poperinge celebrating thirty years in electronics assembly next year. Gregory, account manager, gave us a peek behind the scenes of their production.
The electric wheelchairs you use operate on LiNX and you would like to freshen up your wheelchair joystick knowledge? Then this webinar is for you. It focuses on how to install, use, and configure the mo-vis controls for LiNX.
Do you have the feeling you do not use the Scoot Control to its full potential? Read on. The Scoot Control exists already for four years and is widespread in the market. We thank you as a dealer for that. Despite it being widespread, there are still some recurring questions about this control. That's why we organize a webinar with hands-on product and programming guidelines.
In this part we talk about the importance of vision, core stability, and muscle function. Three factors to take into account when evaluating drive control placement. Furthermore, we look at anatomical sites of the body suitable to operate a drive control. Finally, we compare existing wheelchair joysticks and illustrate a few real-life cases.
In part 2, we hand you a framework to use during the selection of a drive control. It is based on both existing frameworks (See sources) and years of expertise with people with complex mobility problems. By using five different building blocks, the framework helps you answer the question ‘What is needed to control an electric wheelchair?’
