| Summary: | Stroke is a brain attack. It can happen to anyone at any time. It
occurs when blood flow to an area of brain is cut off. When this
happens, brain cells are deprived of oxygen and begin to die. When
brain cells die during stroke, abilities controlled by that area of the
brain such as memory and muscle control are lost [1]. Patients who
suffered stroke will become physically disabled whether on the upper
body, lower body or even both. Thus, such patient needs a device to
aid them to move from one place to another. The device is a
wheelchair. There are many benefits of using wheelchairs such as it
can help them to make a movement and to enable them to do their
daily activities as usual. But for the paralyze patient, the manual
wheelchair is not suitable for them. It is because, the manual
wheelchair requires high level strength. Next, it needs to rely on
someone to push the chair. It will cause more burdens to other people
[2]. To help this disable people to solve their problem and make them
easy do their daily activities as usual by building a wheelchair
controlled by a brainwave.
