ABSTRACT:
A system for rehabilitating a speech impaired individual confined to a wheelchair is disclosed. The system utilizes an arm movement actuator attachment which is secured to the arm rest structure of the wheelchair through a rotatable arm support platform mounted on juxtaposed, upper and lower slide rod assemblies providing X- and Y-axis movement for the rotatable platform. The platform is configured to fully support the individual's forearm and elbow to enable the individual suffering from minimal upper extremity mobility to physically contact a touch screen for enablement of interaction with a computer to communicate and therefore socialize with others.
