| Abstract(in English) | Assistive technologies have enabled persons with severe motor disabilities to live more independently. They can operate a wide variety of equipments using a single switch called "control-interface switch". Various types of such switches are available, depending on body parts capable of operating the switch. The switch operation, however, is easily disturbed with involuntary body movements, resulting in erroneous operations of the equipments. To reduce such limitations in use, we have been attempting to develop a geomagnetic sensor-based switch named GSN/1. It has several advantages such as an easy positioning of the detector relative to the required body part and a low sensitivity to involuntary movements. In this paper, we verified the performance of GSN/1 for detecting an input thumb movement in case of tremor of hand. Experiments employing 10 healthy volunteers revealed that involuntary movements of the hand do not significantly decrease the detectability if their amplitude is less than or equal to 10 [mm] and their frequency is less than or equal to 3[Hz]. |
