Bodypoint Joystick Handles for Powered Wheelchairs

Bodypoint® have designed a whole range of joystick handles to suit your driving style, enabling you to drive with greater control and confidence.

A standard ball-style joystick may be fine for a user with good grip, but not so good for users with a weaker grip. This is why Bodypoint® have designed joystick handles including the new grooved mushroom shape, to suit any driving style. All Bodypoint® joystick handles are mounted on a flex-shaft stem, a flexible polyurethane stem that absorbs tremors and vibrations for a smoother drive. The shaft can be bent at a 90° angle to prevent any obstacles from breaking the joystick, whilst protecting the electronics inside.

Benefits

Flex-shaft Technology

The Flex Shaft Technology seen in Bodypoint Joystick Handles protect joysticks from damage and absorb vibrations, to give the user a smoother drive.

Choice of Styles

Bodypoint offers a choice of styles within their Joystick Handle range. Styles vary depending on the users degree of control to drive a wheelchair. These handles are available in various shapes and sizes depending on use.

Durable with Rounded Edges

Bodypoint Joystick handles are durable and are made keeping the user in mind. All Joystick handles have rounded edges and some have rubber coating for better grip.

Straight Handles

The 6" flex-shaft joystick is the most adaptable of all the joysticks and is very useful for users with hand contractures or very limited finger movement. This joystick can be controlled by the heel of the hand, the side of the hand or even with the wrist and lower arm. The stick can even be slotted between contracted fingers and the palm for a more precise drive.

Straight Handles

Fits Stem Size	Width	Length
Ø3/16"	1/2" (13mm)	6" (152 mm)
Ø1/4"	1/2" (13mm)	6" (152 mm)

Grooved Mushroom

The mushroom head joystick has a ridged rubber outer coating that increases the grip on the joystick. This joystick is great for users with limited sensitivity or movement in their fingers or tremors that cause their fingers to slide off smooth surfaces. The rubber coating also helps the joystick absorb more vibrations for a smoother drive.
