| Research Abstract |
Individuals with motor impairments often exhibit involuntary movements when they are using communication aids and environmental control systems. These movements decrease usability of the assistive technology devices and, as a result, "quality of life" is severely affected. User interface adaptation, including seating and configurations of the devices, is crucial to maximize an individual's ability. In this research, we have developed a system that supports the adaptation by measuring and analyzing accelerations of several body sites. Single case studies were conducted and the results suggest that the system has a good potential to be used in clinical practice.
