title: A single-switch control for wheelchairs and other equipment.
abstract: In cerebral palsy, hand function may be severely curtailed. In some cases, the sole operable device may be a single switch of special design. In such cases, electronic scanning, actuation, and error correction may be necessary. This paper describes such a system, which is in use for typing and for control of an electric wheelchair.
