Active Control - Proportional Chin Controls
Active Controls' unique chin control mounting system provides proportional driving without head movement. Available with Switch-It's MicroPilot and MicroGuide and compatible with ASL's mini-proportional joysticks, drivers can operate it with their chin, lip or tongue. The optional FDA approved silicone ball can be used by the tongue and spring-loaded to provide protection for the drive control and driver.
Seatback-mounted chin controls have a 'diving board' effect on driving, require frequent maitenance to retain drive position, interfere with peripheral vision and are prone to damage during trasnfers and transport. Conversely, this proportional chin control mounting system is fully adjustable, robust, and removable.

- Adjustable Center Drive Mounting System for Exact Positioning

At Access Rehab Equipment, we supply a range of Active Controls’ innovative new products for users of Assistive Technology Equipment. We offer alternative drive controls for both standard and complex rehab power wheelchairs. The Active Controls system allows wheelchair users to drive with their head, eyes, shoulder or finger - The options are just about endless! The System is also unique in the way the carer or user can quickly and easily detach the drive control component from the chair and affix it on the rear of the wheelchair for carer control. Active Controls provide multiple drive positions with the one device.
One of the outstanding features of our Active Controls range is the way it can accommodate the central drive position as opposed to the common and awkward side mounted joystick. It has to be seen to be believed just how much more user friendly and comfortable a centre drive joystick can make the powered mobility driving experience for long term users.
