Ding, D.; Cooper, R. A.; Kaminski, B. A.; Kanaly, J. R.; Allegretti, A.; Chaves, E.; Hubbard, S.: Integrated control and related technology of assistive devices. I: Assistive Technology.Language: EngelskSummary: When the user has severe physical limitations, it may be advantageous to have an integrated control system where a single control interface (e.g., joystick, head switches, voice recognition system, keypad) is used to operate two or more assistive devices (e.g., power wheelchairs, augmentative communication devices, computers, environmental control units, and other devices that are controlled electronically). The purpose of this review is to convey the depth and breadth of the research that has been conducted on integrated control systems, as well as to provide some insights into future directions. Research works pertaining to communication and environmental control, computer access, and wheelchair guidance systems were reviewed. Information gathered in this study will help people become fully aware of the status of contemporary integrated control technology in order to increase the quality of life of people who use electronic assistive devices.
