Hand Controls for Handicap Van
Hand Controls for Handicap Vehicles
Hand controls are designed to allow drivers to operate the gas and brake pedals without the use of their feet. The motorcycle style handgrip is attached to a rod that travels down the steering column and is bolted to the gas and brake pedals. The brake is applied by pushing the operatng handle directly forward. The accelerator is applied by pushing the handle down and to the right. Able body drivers can continue to use the pedals as OEM after the modification. The hand controls can be easily removed and reinstalled into a different vehicle.

"Medicare or any other insurance company that pays according to Medicare guidelines will not pay for devices such as stair lifts, wheelchair lifts, and porch lifts. Some people may be able to get these assistive devices from their worker's compensation company."
