Randomized trial examines head-controlled wheelchair mobility in disabled patients, suggesting improved independence.

The study aims to develop a wheelchair that can be controlled by head movements for individuals with severe physical disabilities.
Developed a wheelchair controlled by a gyroscope sensor detecting head movements.
Implemented a microcontroller to translate head motions into wheelchair movements.
Utilized ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection to ensure safety during use.
The wheelchair operates effectively based on head tilting, allowing users to navigate in all directions.
Obstacle detection significantly reduces the risk of collisions, increasing safety compared to traditional wheelchairs.
User feedback indicates enhanced comfort and ease of use for individuals with mobility impairments.
