Design and functions
General

the foot pads are mounted on the existing footrest. The position of the head array, as
well as its sensor pads, can be adjusted to optimize user performance for drive and
control activities.
CoMoveIT Smart works together with the Rnet OMNI 2 control interface module or the
Rnet Input Output control interface module to provide control of the power wheelchair
instead of an ordinary control device.
The operation of the wheelchair and its functions are controlled by applying pressure
with head and feet to activate the force sensor arrays.
Intended Purpose
CoMoveIT Smart is intended to be used as an input control device for powered
wheelchairs. The intention of CoMoveIT Smart is to capture pressure applied by the
user on the head and foot pads of the device and translatethem into driving commands
for the powered wheelchair. The intention of CoMoveIT Smart is also to adapt in real
time the required pressure by the user in order to activate the wheelchair control
system. CoMoveIT Smart is a plug and drive device that could offer independent
mobility and relaxed way of powered wheelchair driving.
Users
CoMoveIT Smart users are amongst others, individuals diagnosed with complex
movement disorders, such as dystonia and choreoathetosis in dyskinetic cerebral
palsy, who lack the ability to operate powered wheelchairs using conventional control
interfaces.
