Specialty Controls

A wired switch featuring a 2.5-in/6.4-cm activation surface that provides an auditory click and tactile feedback. Requires 3.5-oz/100-g of force to activate.

Active Controls' unique chin control mounting system provides proportional driving without head movement. Available with Switch-It's MicroPilot and MicroGuide and compatible with ASL's mini-proportional joysticks, drivers can operate it with their chin, lip or tongue. The optional FDA approved silicone ball can be used by the tongue and spring-loaded to provide protection for the drive control and driver.

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.

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.

The ReCharge+ is for use on power wheelchairs and scooters. It comes with the receiver socket that connects directly to the charge port of a mobility vehicle and can be mounted on the seat or other locations convenient to the user. Once mounted, the mobility vehicle's off board charger cord attaches to the oversized charging handle, so that the user simply has to drop-in the handle to the receiving socket to charge the mobility vehicle's batteries.

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 surface of the Switched Tray Drive is infinitely adjustable in height, pitch and proximity to the user and never touches the armrests. The installation of the switches, instead of requiring tedious mounting, are sandwiched between two layers of polycarbonate. The polycarbonate pieces are attached with a flat hinge and a single knob for fast, easy access to proximity switches.

This ground-breaking approach to tray driving also positions the display at midline for easy viewing and virtually eliminates exposed wiring. The Switched Tray Drive will reduce repair calls due to wiring damage and accidental disconnections and allow fast and easy field adjustments to switch positions. It can be operated with 4 or 5 naked proximity switches.

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.

The Touch Drive 2 is popular with younger clients who are already familiar with touch screen technology from their experiences with smart phones and tablets. When partnered with the ReJoy platform, the Touch Drive is optimally positioned and stabilized. In addition, the gel pads offer an area for upper extremity stabilization to allow for better driving, more precision and reduced fatigue.
