If you haven’t been able to control switches because of ALS, spinal muscular atrophy, or spinal cord injury, our products can help you achieve independence. Unlike other switches, the Tinkertron switch senses the tiny signals which activate muscle. Use of the muscle control signals from your nervous system to your muscle makes the switch very easy to activate. The sensor is connected directly on the muscle site which makes attachment simple. The sensor does not depend on motion so it remains in the proper position even as you move around.
Any device or program that accepts switch input can be controlled by the EMG Switch:
- power wheelchairs
- mobility devices
- environmental control devices
- email programs
- other computer programs
- scanning software (ie: EZ Keys)
- communication devices
- and many more…
