Paper describes the design and development of customized algorithms for an isometric joystick for people with movement disorders, including chorea and dystonia. A software package developed for designing customized algorithms consists of 4 interfaces: joystick tuning, target selection, customizable control, and virtual driving. Based on the evaluation individual motor abilities of people with chorea or dystonia, customized algorithms are developed that enable electric powered wheelchair users to drive using scanning and/or switch technology with an isometric joystick. This paper was presented at the 2007 Annual Conference of the Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive Technology Society of North America.
