I’m a big fan of the rolling mount with eye gaze systems.  Some of my patients prefer splitting their time between their power wheelchairs and their recliner chairs; therefore, the rolling mount adds flexibility for communication in a variety of positions.

 

Thanks for asking- I am curious to learn what the group finds.

Subject: [Assistive Technology] Mounting, eye gaze and Advanced Stage ALS

 

There is something I’ve been curious about for a while.-

 

I’ve been thinking about eye gaze systems, mounting, and folks with advanced stage ALS.

 

I wanted to take an informal survey - do people think that most folks with advanced ALS would generally be using a rolling mount for an eye gaze system, or a mount attached to a wheel chair?

 

(I have my own thoughts on what I think most PALS would be using, but I thought I would check with the group first ;-)

 

Thanks for your help with this-

 

Margaret
