joystick. This means that the further you push
the joystick from the standard position, the
faster the wheelchair will move. Releasing the
joystick will stop the wheelchair.

• Handicare offers the external joystick
mounted in the worktop (fi xed, mechanical
or electrical fl ip-down), chin arm (mechanical
or electrical) and on the armrest.
5.2 External joystick lite

comparable with the external joystick. The
reaction is also proportional, but the lite version
requires 50 percent less force than the external
joystick.

mounted in the worktop (fi xed, mechanical
or electrical fl ip-down), chin arm (mechanical
or electrical) and on the armrest.
