Having the ability to accommodate both approaches makes the Total Control Head Array a versatile platform for alternative power wheelchair controls.
Alternative controls can be essential for users who cannot reliably operate a standard joystick.
A head array allows control inputs to be associated with specific head movements or contact points, depending on the configuration.
The Permobil Total Control Head Array System is designed to support this type of personalized access.
The system can be configured around different control needs, allowing professionals to determine the most practical placement for sensors or switches.
The goal is not simply to add another accessory to the wheelchair. It is to create an intuitive control interface that works with the user’s abilities and seating position.
Assistive technology should provide functionality without unnecessarily getting in the way.
The Permobil Total Control Head Array features a comfortable, minimal design intended to reduce the visual and physical impact of the equipment.
For some users, a large or complicated control system can feel overwhelming.
The streamlined design of the Total Control Head Array keeps the focus on the user’s interaction with the wheelchair rather than the equipment itself.
This can contribute to a cleaner seating environment while still providing the functionality needed for alternative wheelchair control.

The user may interact with the head array for extended periods, so the positioning hardware and contact surfaces need to be carefully configured.
The updated Total Control Head Array includes an upgraded occipital pad cover designed to improve comfort and reduce friction.
This attention to the contact surface can help create a more comfortable experience during regular use.
As with any head positioning or control system, correct adjustment is essential. A qualified seating and mobility professional should configure the system according to the user’s needs.
Adjustability is not limited to the sensor position.
The Total Control Head Array features swing-away lateral arm hardware, allowing the arms to be moved aside when needed.
This can make adjustment and access more convenient while also providing a strong hold when the hardware is returned to its operating position.
The swing-away mechanism includes an easy-to-operate release mechanism.
This combination of secure positioning and convenient release helps make the system more practical for everyday wheelchair use.
A head array is only useful if it remains appropriately positioned.
The updated Permobil Total Control Head Array incorporates BodiLink MAX 8 mounting hardware, designed to provide secure and reliable positioning.
Stable mounting is particularly important for alternative control systems because the relationship between the user’s head movements and sensor locations can be precise.
If the hardware shifts unexpectedly, the control experience can be affected.
The mounting system therefore plays an important role in maintaining consistent positioning.
The new BodiLink MAX 8 mounting hardware adds another layer of reliability to the Total Control Head Array.
The mounting system is designed to provide secure positioning while allowing the head array to be integrated into a customized seating environment.
Because head array positioning is highly individualized, the mounting hardware must support both stability and adjustment.
BodiLink MAX 8 helps provide the foundation for this customized setup.
The telescoping arms are another key feature of the Permobil Total Control Head Array System.
They extend the range of adjustment available to the proximity sensors and provide additional flexibility when positioning the controls.
The included longer arms can be especially useful when additional sensor reach is necessary.
This adjustability allows the head array to be configured around different users rather than requiring every user to fit the same fixed arrangement.
There is no single head array configuration that works perfectly for everyone.
Users may have different head positions, movement patterns, strength levels, range of motion, and control preferences.
The Total Control Head Array is designed to accommodate this variety.
Proximity sensors and mechanical switches can be placed in different locations, while the telescoping arms provide additional positioning range.
This creates a platform that can be adapted as the user’s needs change.
