This study proposes a new head-orientated wheelchair design for people with disabilities. METHOD: This study involves a tilt sensor module fitted onto the operator~s headgear that will sense head movements used to control the wheelchair~s direction and speed. This system includes: the tilt sensor module, the signal processing circuit and a main controller. RESULTS: The average times required for completing experiments by seven volunteers using joystick-controlled and the newly developed wheelchairs were recorded. It was revealed that the difference in average operating time for the two wheelchairs were statistically insignificant (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The wheelchair developed in this study, although not absolutely superior to the joystick-controlled method, should still provide a better alternative for people with disabilities unsuited to traditional input devices. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=6120 ------>authors2= ------>authors3= ------>authors4= ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Y.
