Abstract Background Due to the shift of the age structure in today s populations the necessities for developing the devices or technologies to support them have been increasing. Traditionally the wheelchair including powered and manual ones is the most popular and important rehabilitation assistive device for the disabled and the elderly. However it is still highly restricted especially for severely disabled. As a solution to this the Intelligent Wheelchairs IWs have received considerable attention as mobility aids. The purpose of this work is to develop the IW interface for providing more convenient and efficient interface to the people the disability in their limbs. Methods This paper proposes an intelligent wheelchair IW control system for the people with various disabilities. To facilitate a wide variety of user abilities the proposed system involves the use of face-inclination and mouth-shape information where the direction of an IW is determined by the .
