Position Joystick in Every Client’s Natural Hand Position
Because of the multiple benefits of customized joystick positioning for every PWC user, every PWC client deserves the opportunity to drive at a central location, not just those who have difficulty driving in the armrest location.
Custom positioning of the joystick optimizes the Power Wheelchair (PWC) user’s:
- Operational performance
- Long term comfort
- Safety
- Driving confidence
- Satisfaction with their PWC.
The ErgoReJoy system includes a step-by-step assessment methodology which yields the documentation for submission of third-party payor claims. A full assessment of the client’s driving abilities and postural positioning takes approximately 20 minutes. No tools are required to position and lock the joystick and JoyPad ergonomic wrist support in place.
