Abstract

Presently a-days mishaps are overwhelming and the majority of them prompt spinal string damage. Spinal cord injury causes information travelling along spinal nerves below level of injury will completely or partially cut off this leads to paralysis. Paralysis is of two types: Quadriplegia, Paraplegia. Quadriplegia is derived from two words quadric means four and plegia stands for paralysis. When a person has spinal string damage. Above first thoracic vertebra paralysis usually affects cervical spinal nerves resulting dis-functioning of four limbs. These quadriplegic patients are suffering with many problems such as the person cannot walk himself and cannot be able to do his work with his own. In some cases the patient suffering from quadriplegic could not even speak. To help these quadriplegic patients to communicate we wish to propose a new mechanism where they will be able to communicate to anyone by various types of head movements as that is the only controllable part in their body.
