Specialty Controls

The USB Charger and Guide Light for Portable Electronics. The Power Buddy's premium design features two rows of powerful LED lights to help you see and be seen. The flexible swan neck design allows you to twist and move the PowerBuddy so you can easily plug in your charging cord without having to fuss with it. The XLR plug can even be rotated 180 degrees to fit any position on virtually all scooters and power wheelchairs with off-board chargers.

The airspace is a Lockout plug that aids in reducing ground handling while flying as there is no longer any need to disassemble the wheelchair for travel.
It's effective for the majority of electric-powered wheelchairs and scooters. It's robust; ergonomic construction has been designed for long life in a harsh environment.
Other uses include transport vehicles to lock out power during rides and also prevent unsolicited joy rides and theft.

The MicroTray is a combination central-mounted drive control and activity tray which also provides upper extremity support. Any mini-proportional joystick from Switch-It, Stealth or ASL can be mounted in the tray which comes pre-wired to the Active Controls quick disconnect Center Drive System.

A 3” heavy-duty arm under the tray allows a 360 degree rotational adjustment of the drive control so it can be positioned exactly where it best meets the needs of the wheelchair user. Moving the MicroTray out of the way for transfers is a breeze because it simply lifts off of the chair and can be safely stored unattached to the chair, or in an optional side-mounted holster socket on the chair.

The Active Controls Chin Control uses the Center Drive mast and socket mounting system to offer quick installation and removal by the caregiver. The solid support from the seat base facilitates consistent positioning and resistance to flex from applied downward force. It is so consistent, it can be used as a cue by caregivers to position their client in the chair properly. Multiple angle and height adjustments allow a perfect fit for almost every user!

Active Controls Rehab Solutions allows an installation of any head array in a matter of minutes. Installed using the modular sockets of the Active Controls Rehab Solutions product line, a head array can now be dropped in and out of the socket for easier calibrations and quick adjustments.

Switch It head arrays have the versatility to utilize 3, 4 or 5 proximity switches, with the option to embed the sensors in the long, short, flat, or curved head pads. Additional offset facial pads, proximity switches, and other options for custom placement give the client the access to the switches they need.

The New Drive Control that Steers Like a Scooter

The combination of power wheelchair maneuverability and scooter style controls creates a more natural riding experience.

In the attendant position, the patent pending JoyBar provides more stability and greater control for the attendant, all without the need of upgraded electronics.

Accessing an armrest mounted input device often requires the user to compromise their posture to drive a powerchair, which may result in permanent upper body deformations for active users. The ReJoy mounting platform and lateral adjustable lower arm/hand gel support pads offers superior positioning of the input device which leads to increased function of the controls. The ReJoy actually works in conjunction with the seating system to maintain body position at midline, thereby maximizing client comfort while reducing fatigue.

The MicroGuide offers proportional drive with as little as 40 grams of force and a quarter inch of throw (deflection). The MicroGuide has the size and durability of the proven MicroPilot, but with physical joystick throw for clients that prefer feedback of movement.

When partnered with the ReJoy mounting platform and Center Drive System, the MicroGuide and enhanced display are optimally positioned at midline. Support from beneath offers greatly increased stability and the adjustable gel support pads provide upper extremity support for better control and increased comfort and function.

Position Joystick in Every Client’s Natural Hand Position

Because of the multiple benefits of customized joystick positioning for every PWC user, every PWC client deserves the opportunity to drive at a central location, not just those who have difficulty driving in the armrest location.

For initial use, simply connect the three pin plug of your power wheelchair charger into the three pin port of the ReCharge adaptor. Thereafter, to charge the power wheelchair, just insert the ReCharge adaptor into any Center Drive socket.
