ASL Head Arrays

ASL, Adaptive Switch Labs makes controls for mobility and access, and make a range of head arrays for control of a power wheelchair.

ASL 104 ATOM Head Array System

The ASL 104 ATOM Electronic Head Array system has combined electronics within the head array for ease of access to the switch ports. With a touch of a switch, the Atom Electronic Head Array can be used as a wireless switch interface for computer access or AAC devices. Switch settings and adjustments allow simplicity in how the Atom Electronic Head Array functions. The directional indicator helps a clinician/provider see when a client is accessing a switch. An adjustable switch timer gives the client ease of access to all the other wheelchair functions. The important on/off switch is located right on the back of the Atom Electronic Head Array. There is also a user switch feature so the client can turn the Atom on or off themselves. This alternative driver control system is typically used for individuals with Cerebral Palsy or with anyone that has difficulty with motor control, coordination or weakness. It has been highly successful for these individuals due to the no pressure feature of the proximity switch.

ASL 105 Head Array

The ASL 105 Electronic Head Array system utilizes three non adjustable proximity sensors placed inside a headrest for control of a power wheelchair. The sensors are mounted inside the right and left wings, and control movement in those directions. The sensor mounted inside the back pad controls movement in a forward or a forward and reverse direction depending on how the chair is programmed. Veering is accomplished by activating the sensor in the back pad along with either the right or left sensor. This alternative driver control system is typically used for individuals with Cerebral Palsy or with anyone that has difficulty with motor control or coordination. It has been highly successful for these individuals due to the no pressure feature of the proximity switch. The head array can be used on a wide variety of power chairs and the sensors can be adjusted for sensitivity as well as the individual pads adjusted to make it easy for the user to reach them.

ASL 109 Sip and Puff Head Array 

The ASL 109 Sip and Puff Head Array combines simple sip and puff controls with head movements. In this driver control device any puff equals forward and any sip equals reverse. Right and left turns are controlled by sensors located in the lateral wings of the Head Array. Steering or veering can be achieved by rotating the head toward the left or right wing sensors while going forward in the latched mode. This system is designed for those with lateral head movement and weak breath control volume. The driver control is typically used with individuals with a high level spinal cord injury.
