Abstract

We prescribed a powered wheelchair driven with active movements of head and shoulder to a 66-year-old female patient with high level cervical cord injury. It is possible to switch six different gears of sitting up, reclining, low speed, moderate speed, high speed and backing by active elevation of the shoulder. Driving the wheelchair is controlled by extention and rotation of the neck. After practicing, she became independent to move indoors and outdoors with the powered wheelchair.
