Abstract :
Tetraplegic writing was analyzed in order to define the characteristics required for the development of sensors for measuring this process. Experiments were carried out to define the force range to be of 0.23 N to 7.00 N in order to achieve proper writing. The signal showed high frequency components of 2.50 Hz to 0.83 Hz. General features of tetraplegic writing are described.
