Head Control
Proportional Head Control that is highly adjustable to user's needs.
Product features
- 3 driving pads: individually adjustable (depth, height & orientation), waterproof, replaceable and help to position the head
- Central pad at the back of the head
- 2 lateral pads: several mounting options on the side of the head, clearing ears and glasses
- Multiple force sensors in all pads for proportional driving (speed depends upon the exerted force). Configurable threshold for switched driving.
- Safe & reliable to use outdoors and in humid environments
- Programmable via the on-board configurator (no need for external computer or additional software)
- Programmable minimum and maximum force per pad
- Interesting parameters such as initial speed, veering, angle compensation and overload force detection
- Programmable functions under gestures, buttons or sip-and-puff
- Swing-away mounting hardware that's durable and strong, with a configurable memory location
- Can be mounted on the existing head support mounting brackets of power wheelchairs

More information
Some interesting parameters to enhance the performance and safety of the device:
- Initial speed: starting speed when the head is detected is possible, due to very sensitive force sensors. This way, you can mimick capacitive sensors with a start speed
- Veering: steering corrections based on force location on the pad. Wide or even tight arcs possible with the central pad alone.
- Angle compensation: to use with tilt or recline. The system filters out additional weight of the head in tilted positions, so you can rest and drive in every position of the wheelchair
- Gestures: control the wheelchair functions with as little satellites as possible.
- Overload force detection: when user with strong reflexive movement of the head has diffuclty releasing the pads or accidentally activates the pads, the system can enter into a warning state
