13th International Conference on Fracture June 16–21, 2013, Beijing, China -4- Spinal cord injury levels are used to explain the different severities of paralysis, following an injury to the spinal cord. Generally, the higher the level of injury to the spinal cord, the greater the degree of paralysis will result. 1.6 Functionality of C1, C2, C3 Quadriplegic 1.6.1 Mobility & Movement Limited head and neck movements can be done depending on muscle strength. The research prototype include an oral mouse to solve this problem 1.6.2 Complete paralysis of arms, body and legs. Sympathetic nervous system will be compromised possibility of Autonomic Dysreflexia. Electric wheelchair may possibly be controlled by either neck an oral movement controller; this will vary depending on dexterity. Complete assistance required during mealtimes. 1.6.3 Personal Care Complete personal assistance is required. The person will need assistance with washing, dressing, and assistance with bowel and bladder management. The prototype can free a personal care for mobility and house interface control. 1.6.4 Domestic Care Complete domestic care is required, such as household cleaning, washing of clothes and kitchen duties, preparation of meals and general household duties. Again, the prototype can free a personal care for mobility and house interface control. 1.6.5 Communication A computer may be operated using head movement recognition, mouth stick recognition. Telephone can be used using oral mouse recognition and headset. 1.6.6 Environmental Control The system designed permitting remote control of electronic devices in the immediate surroundings. A person can independently turn lights, radio, and television on and off, answer or initiate phone calls, and unlock a door. Essentially any aspect of the environment can be controlled depending upon the system's complexity. A hardware and software system, allowing the user programmed or spontaneous control over remote, electrically operated appliances. The prototype is special technology equipment providing disabled access of the physical
