Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Yes, ask for a softer joystick boot cover. Don't remember it's part number, else remove it and do your best to keep it dry ... risky or see if someone can get some stretchy material to replace the cover (I've a friend who did this ... material is like the kind use on roho cushions. Good luck. Angie On 2005.03.27 21:40, Taleporos wrote: > Hi everyone > I just got an invacare Arrow wheelchair.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Hi , Of course I am no expert in this area. I will call my vendor in the morning and let you know what they say (when I get home from work). My guy is great. Lori > > Hi everyone > > I just got an invacare Arrow wheelchair.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Thanks Angie. Are you referring to the rubber that covers the joystiick? Can you get softer ones? Can you get any more details from your friend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I'm not sure if this is what Lori was talking about, but isn't there a way to control the sensitivity of the joystick to make it easier to use?? Kimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 , Yes, the boot is the rubber cover that covers the joystick. If it is way too old it tends to dry up and become extremely stiff. The cost, in Canada, is $12.00 for a new boot and it is very soft, but if it doesn't help then you may need to have a technician come out and adjust the internal spring of the joystick. Some of my friends had it removed and with the standard boot cover it held it in place and was a lot easier to push/pull. The only other idea I have besides changing the boot or do some mechanical adjustments is to put a taller joystick knob on. You may need to lower the control box to accomodate for the joystick's extra height, but you'll have to make that call yourself as it depends upon your reach and strength. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 i have the ability to adjust it electronically, too, but the resistance i was experiencing was mechanical. i didn't want the controls to be touchier than they already are. i have an E & J P300 with a Dufco joystick conversion - old school.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I spoke with my w/chair guy. He said that there wasn't an internal adjustment that could be made but had some other suggestions. First, sliding the joystick back enough so that gravity can help when you rest your hand on it. Another idea is to add an extension to the joystick like a t-bar for instance as many quads use. I used to have a long (~6 " ) handle to help me steer better. A last resort and one the vendor would probable try to resist is to switch it out for another type of control (examples are touch pad-that's what I have, chin control, head control). I found these sites to give you some ideas: http://www.edmond-wheelchair.com/joystick_extensions.htm http://www.therafin.com/joystex.htm I hope this helps. Please let us know how things go.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I cant push it. Increasing the sensitivity makes it way too jumpy. Can you buy softer joysticks? The one that I have on my current chair is much softer because i had the springs adjusted, but they wouldnt touch my new joysttick because of liability issues.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 If that was me, I'd be telling them do it or else I will find someplace else the next time I need to buy something (of course if you have the good fortune of doing so).

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hi , Thank for asking about this. I just got a new invacare chair too and an having the same problem with the stiff joystick. One thing that helped some is to reconfigure the ³throw² so that you don¹t have to push it as far to get a response, but this is not my ideal solution.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I just had the same problem with a new Invacare. The company should catch on to the trend! I kept trying different size tops on the joystick. The T is ok, but the best for me is a larger size ball. Also, adjusting the THROW, not the SPEED, helped. Using gravity with your hand on it is a bad idea. Too easy to lose control. (Had a few accidents ) And threatening to use a different company doesn't help - they don't care. Just be the " squeaky wheel " until you get what you need. CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 CJ, I see THROW and SENSITIVITY as the same thing, are they not?

If you can move the joystick just a little bit, the electronics can be reprogrammed to adjust to the minimal movement to give you full range with the wheelchair. If that doesn't work, your supplier should be able to offer you a number of after market joysticks that would work with the Arrow. stiff joystick Hi everyone I just got an invacare Arrow wheelchair.
