A joint movement detection device and system is presented which is responsive to elbow or wrist movements during use of a manually-propelled wheelchair to enable coordination of assistive motor energization with a user's efforts at self-motivating the manually-propelled wheelchair during driving, steering, and braking of the wheelchair. Additional means are disclosed which help to ensure user-intended assistive motor output that is responsive to movement of the joint over which the device is worn.
