Steering Devices

*Price Range : $50 - $350

Amputee Ring - designed best for those with prosthesis. The hook of the prosthesis will fit into the ring and remain in place while driving.

"Para" Spinner Knob - consists of a base, which is adjustable, and a detachable knob that can be comfortably gripped with one hand.

Palm Grip - ideal for someone who has control of the wrist but is limited in grip strength. The hand is always held flat to the steering wheel while driving.

Quad Grip with Pin - a 3/8" steel shaft from a stiff leather cuff that inserts into the spinner base. A stable wrist is required. The pin may be attached on a horizontal or a vertical position.

Quad Steering Cuff or Splint - a wrist cock up splint with a post attached in a vertical or horizontal position. It is ideal for persons either lacking hand and wrist function or those unable to use the above steering devices.

Spinner Cuff - operates as the hand is held in place by a cuff and fastened with Velcro. A lockable short rod is placed in the base of the steering wheel near the palm of the hand to allow the person to steer.

Tri-Post or Tri-Pin Spinner Knob - stabilizes and secures the hand and wrist while driving.

V-Grip or U-Grip – hand controls keep the hand in an upright position and in place while driving. It is used primarily by persons who have adequate use of wrist movements.

Deep Dish Steering Wheel - used for those who have limited reach to be able to turn the wheel safely due to its smaller size.

Foot Steering Controls - for drivers who need to maneuver the vehicle entirely by their feet.

Horizontal Steering - the steering column is easily adjusted by motorization for those drivers with limited reach.

Steering Column Extension - the steering column is extended by 2-6 inches allowing room to steer for individuals driving from their wheelchairs.

Joystick - very similar to the joystick on a wheelchair, this larger scaled version allows the driver to maneuver the vehicle.

Low Effort Steering - reduces the effort needed to steer a vehicle by approximately 40 percent.

Reduced Effort Steering - can assist drivers who have limited use of their upper extremities.

Servo Controls - unlike the other hand controls, these operate by an auxiliary motor, rather than the pressure of an individual's hand. It reduces the amount of strength needed by the driver.

Zero Effort Steering - reduces the effort needed to steer a vehicle by approximately 70 percent.
