| Popis: | Power wheelchairs are, for many people, the only way to regain an autonomy of mobility. Unfortunately, some categories of people with disabilities do not have access to one because of the incompatibility of the classical steering device (joystick) with their disability. In a previous publication, we introduced a new tactile interface for steering a wheelchair. In this paper, we present a pilot kinematic evaluation of this interface. We analyzed the performance of able bodied users with the joystick and with the touch interface according to different stability criteria of the piloting in three different situations: straight line following, 90° corner and doorway passing. The overall performance of the tactile interface was close to the joystick's and opens up to some improvement strategies before a clinical study with targeted users. |
