Steering Devices

There are also several different types of steering devices. Steering devices are apparatuses attached to the vehicle steering wheel to permit safe operation and aid in turning the steering wheel for drivers who must steer with one hand. It allows them to remain in contact with the steering wheel at all times. They come in a variety of configurations:

  • Knob: A steering wheel device with a knob type grip.
  • Tri-Pin: A steering wheel device with three upright pins to stabilize the hand and wrist of the driver.
  • U or V Grip: A steering wheel device with two vertical pins to stabilize the hand of a driver.
  • Cuff: A steering wheel device with a curved oval shape that fits around the hand of a driver.
  • Amputee: A steering wheel device that integrates with a driver’s prosthesis.
  • Custom: A steering device designed for a specific application or driver.
  • Palm: A steering device that wraps over the top of the hand.
