Introduction
The performance of the Genie Joystick, its operating mode and parameter
settings may not be decided or known until the chair is supplied to the end user
by their assessment center or other supplier. Typically the fine tuning of the
Genie Joystick will be carried out by a technician in collaboration with an
occupational therapist during assessment of a users operation capability, very
often in the user’s home or place of work. It is for this reason that the
programming of the Genie Joystick’s performance is carried out on the device
itself without the need for a DX hand held programmer or a DX Wizard program.
The Genie Joystick has a set of programmable parameters which allow a
technician in collaboration with an occupational therapist or other professional to
adjust the Genie Joystick so that it best suits a user’s needs and switch/joystick
operation capability. The programmable parameters are described below.
