Foot Control
A Foot Control for electric wheelchairs, designed for people who find it easier to control their wheelchair with their foot (e.g. people with ALS or Cerebral Palsy).
Product features
The Foot Control is a proportional control which can be connected directly to the wheelchair electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the Road Compensation?
Read Michelle Lange's Blog on the Road Compensation to learn more in our tutorial about the mo-vis joysticks.
-
What is the Tilt Setting?
Through our mo-vis Configurator Software you can activate the Tilt Setting of the joystick. As soon as your joystick is tilted in an angle of more than 70°, movement of the joystick will not be seen as a driving input anymore. When the joystick is tilted in an angle of less than 60°, the joystick will become active again.
It makes sense to enable Tilt Setting, when the joystick is mounted on a swing away arm or when it is integrated in a swivel system.

How should I clean or disinfect the joystick?
To guarantee a maximum lifetime of the device, the joystick should be cleaned on a regular basis. Gently remove dust and dirt with a damp cloth. Only use non-aggressive disinfectant cleaning agents. Do not immerse it in water or use excessive amounts of liquid. Also, do not apply additional lubricants to the moving parts.
The ball or cup on top of the joystick can be removed without tools to clean them. You may shortly immerse the ball or cup in warm water with a gentle cleaning agent. Let the ball or cup dry before putting it back on.
If the ball or cup is damaged, worn out or remains dirty, replace it. Contact your dealer or contact us by email (support@mo-vis.com) to order spare parts.
