Users with cerebral palsy often experience contractures, limited hand mobility, or the inability to open their hands. They need a system that can accurately track limited movements, such as a wrist curve or controlled movement along a surface.
Fine Motor Control for Cerebral Palsy
Users with cerebral palsy often experience contractures, limited hand mobility, or the inability to open their hands. They need a system that can accurately track limited movements, such as a wrist curve or controlled movement along a surface.
Advanced AI tracks the subtle curvature of a closed or partially contracted wrist to perform mouse actions or controls.
Impact: Maximising Residual Movement - leverages the small, consistent motion available in the wrist/forearm.
Creates two invisible 'force fields' in front of the hand, which are triggered by moving the hand forward/backward in a controlled way.
Impact: Multi-Action Switching - provides two distinct, hands-free 'click' or 'mode change' options.
Recognises hand movement across a table as a cursor drag, for users with good horizontal control but poor vertical/in-air stability.
Impact: Stability and Reliability - works with the user's existing, reliable motor patterns.
Allows an adult with CP to use their reliable wrist curvature and depth movements to navigate apps, input data, play mouse-enabled games and operate office software.
Tracking the curvature of the wrists led to the development of in-air forcefields when users can control depth to make an action happen, even if they cannot open their hands.
