Motorised chair controller
A client with MS was not able to operate the membrane switches on the controller for his motorised chair. A cover was made for the controller with larger buttons that could be operated with the fist, rather than with fingers.
The Challenge
A client with MS was not able to operate the fiddly membrane switches on the controller for his motorised chair because of reduced dexterity in his fingers.
The solution
A bolt-on cover was made for the controller with larger buttons that could be operated with the fist, rather than with fingers.
The benefit
The client can now adjust the chair to suit his changing condition without requiring assistance from carers.
