Rehabilitation Engineering is excited to share the launch of the Twitch Switch, an innovative #adaptivetechnology! If you are 19+ and have a physical disability, you may be eligible to test a Switch. For more info, contact SCCRrehabengineering@HorizonNB.ca or 506-262-6861.

Rehabilitation Engineering is conducting research on new #adaptivetechnology and are looking for participants! If you are 19+ and have a physical disability, you may be eligible to test a device. For more information, contact SCCRrehabengineering@HorizonNB.ca or 506-262-6861.

Our clients at @SCCR are the #inspiration, our clinicians are the #innovators, our rehab #engineers are the #creators, and our @HorizonHealthNB #research team are the drivers. Thank you @AskISED for helping our team reach more #Canadians! cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

Have you or is someone you know been diagnosed with ALS or Muscular Dystrophy and has an interest in testing new assistive technology? We are conducting a research project where we are looking for individuals to try and provide feedback on one of two new adaptive technologies ...

Making some great progress with the spoon lifter. Needs some improvement, including a cool name. Any ideas? #rehabilitation #accessibility #3Dprinting #Independence

Meet the newest addition to the shop. The @Sain_Smart #Genmitsu PROVerXL 4030 benchtop #CNC router! I can not wait to test this out.

@LIU12_AT @proloquo2go I designed my own. Particularly because it needed to fit with this specific iPad case.

@RachelleBernier @proloquo2go Did you use a template on Yeggi or Thingaverse or did you design your own?

Kicking off a Monday morning fit testing these custom raised keyguards. A simple access solution that can make a big difference in allowing someone to #communicate more easily. #3Dprinting #SLP #accessibility @proloquo2go

A long overdue request from @Marla_ot - a simple switch activation counter. Up to three switches that can control digital outputs, or a mouse (left click, up/down, left/right). Every time a switch is hit, it counts! No more manual talley counting! #rehabilitation #accessibility

I’m glad my #maker skills are better than my guitar playing skills! Scaled up the #ukulele strummer to fit a #Guitar. A custom saddle, silk and steel strings, and a thin pick were the secret ingredients for this success! #adaptive #musictherapy #rehabilitiation

@jakemcivor @Xbox @XboxCanada @arduino None of the button references in the Arduino joystick library activate the triggers. You can work around that by mapping the view button for example to be one of the triggers directly on the XAC.

@RachelleBernier @Xbox @XboxCanada @arduino And trigger won't work? Or won't map?

Loving the Ultimarc Flight Stick! Works like a charm with the #Arduino #Joystick library Ver 2.0.7. Here is a quick cheat sheet for button mapping when used with the #XAC. Would love to find a way to activate the triggers through the USB ports. @Xbox @XboxCanada @arduino

@jakemcivor @Xbox @XboxCanada @arduino That’s correct!

@RachelleBernier @Xbox @XboxCanada @arduino So the four limit switches for the joystick and the two buttons are wired as inputs to the Arduino, then you have firmware with the Joystick library to generate the output through USB?

#Independence at mealtime is important. For people who can navigate a tabletop with fine motor skills, but do not have active elbow flexion, this spoon elevator will do the trick! #AssistiveTech #Engineering @KristaM_OT and I are excited to see it in action!

@davidcombarieu @brycej @Xbox @XboxCanada @arduino Sorry - correction again. Micro NOT nano. Micros and Leonardo have mice, keyboard and joystick compatibility.

@davidcombarieu @brycej @Xbox @XboxCanada @arduino As for that board in your picture. We have tried similar and while they do work, they quit working for us after a short time and one never worked at all. Using a non brand nano or leonardo controller allows for more customization. ie. sensitivity, dead zones, even mutton mashing!

@brycej @Xbox @XboxCanada @arduino Correction! Ours is the “MiniGrip Stick” from Ultimarc. It’s much cheaper even with the 3D printed box and arduino than the actual Ultrastick version.

@RachelleBernier @Xbox @XboxCanada @arduino Hey Rachelle. I’m confused where is the Arduino in this setup? I have an ultimate flight stick but don’t look at it often. Is it in there?

Our speech language pathologists teamed up with our #rehabilitation engineers to create SAMMs-the Suprahyoid And Mastication Muscle Strengthener inspired by @IOPImedical! The #biofeedback motivates our clients to hit personalized targets calibrated to their ability and strength.

#Gaming controller mods are much easier with @arsenalmod kits! @Marla_ot asked to position the triggers and mappable buttons at the front for gamers who can’t reach the back. Buttons are easily swappable for 3.5 mm ports for use with other switches.@PlayStation @Xbox #gamechanger
