There are many alternative methods to joystick control for control of Electric Powered Wheelchairs for users with neuromuscular disabilities, such as muscular dystrophy, and spinal cord injuries, such as tetraplegia. However, these methods- which include the sip-and-puff method, head and neck movement, blinking, or tongue movement- hinder social interaction, and are therefore detrimental to user independence. In recent years, research has explored the use of Electromyography (EMG) signals from a...
