Some of these devices and their sophistigated human-machine interface strategies are described here. http://origin-www.computer.org/csdl/mags/co/1981/01/01667071.pdf Communication Devices for the Nonvocal Disabled Andrew Thomas This overview of devices developed at Tufts-New England Medical Center accents the lack of a unified means for delivering devices to those who need them. http://origin-www.computer.org/csdl/mags/co/1981/01/01667073.pdf The Impact of Microcomputers on Devices to Aid the Handicapped James H. Aylor, Barry W. Johnson, and Robert L. Ramey Proven prototypes too often do not go into production because of economic factors. The authors are using microcomputers to make devices less expensive, more flexible, and more producible. http://origin-www.computer.org/csdl/mags/co/1981/01/01667075.pdf A Computer-Aided Robotic Arm/Worktable System for the High-Level Quadriplegic Wolfger Schneider, Gerhard Schmeisser, and Woodrow Seamone Opening the door to self-reliance for quadriplegics, this system provides manipulative capability for doing several tasks without assistance - including typing and using a computer. http://origin-www.computer.org/csdl/mags/co/1981/01/01667076.pdf Rehabilitation and the Handicapped Programmer Robert J.
