Electronic hand controls

Who can benefit from our disability hand controls?
Hand controls in a car are typically used by individuals who have a disability or injury that affects their lower extremities, which may prevent them from using the standard foot pedals in a vehicle.
Some of the disabilities or conditions that may necessitate the use of car hand controls for disabled drivers include cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, arthritis and paraplegia. People who have had a stroke or a lower-limb amputation may also use hand-operated control for acceleration, braking and other driving functions.
