Steering Aid FAQ's
Can steering aids be fitted to any vehicle?
Our steering aids can be fitted into virtually any vehicle.
What are the benefits of quick release steering aids?
A quick release steering aid functions the same as a standard fixed grip, however, can be easily attached and removed. This is particularly helpful for users who have another driver sharing the car that doesn’t require the steering aid.
How will I know if a steering aid suits my mobility requirements?
If you struggle to grip the standard steering wheel or drive with hand controls, a steering aid is extremely beneficial.
Can steering aids be transferred if I change my car?
Yes steering aids can be transferred to virtually any vehicle.
What are the steering wheel aids for disability?
Steering wheel aids are driving adaptations designed to make steering easier and more controlled for drivers with reduced strength, limited grip, or restricted upper limb movement. Common solutions include steering knobs (also known as steering balls) and other assistive grips that attach to the steering wheel.
These aids allow drivers to turn the wheel more smoothly using one hand, reducing strain and improving control, particularly when used alongside other adaptations such as hand controls.
What is the steering wheel aid for arthritis?
For drivers with arthritis, steering wheel aids can make driving more comfortable by reducing the amount of grip strength and arm movement required to turn the wheel.
By providing a fixed point of control, these aids help reduce pain and fatigue in the hands, wrists and shoulders, making everyday driving more manageable and less physically demanding.
Can a steering knob improve mobility?
Yes, a steering knob can improve driving mobility by allowing easier one-handed steering and smoother control of the vehicle. This can be particularly beneficial for drivers with reduced strength, or limited mobility.
Steering knobs are often used as part of a wider range of driving adaptations, helping users maintain independence and confidence behind the wheel while reducing physical strain during driving.
