Subject: small joysticks for MD lads
Dear all
I'm casting around for ideas following a trial with PS2 & Wii joysticks
for driving wheelchairs. Technically they work fine, but my client
doesn't have enough movement for them.
What are people using? He hasn't tried the DX mini, because so far, he
won't accept mounting it in a hole in the wheelchair tray. Does the 10g
deflection give us a better chance than the 50g of the Wii?
I don't think he's tried the DX "finger in the hole" joystick. Have
people had success with this in Muscular Dystrophy?
