Relevance – Upper-limb fatigue may restrict people with MS from using their electrical powered wheelchair effectively and for long periods.

To complete virtual wheelchair driving tasks, each group used either VCJ in compliant or noncompliant isometric mode and a: – Standard algorithm. – Personally fitted algorithm. – Personally fitted algorithm with fatigue adaptation running in background.

VCJ, along with personally fitted algorithms and fatigue adaptation algorithms, is a potentially effective input interface for wheelchairs.
