Primary Hand Controls

Primary hand controls allow drivers to operate the accelerator and brake by hand, providing an alternative to standard foot pedals. Options such as push-pull, push-rock, and right-angle controls accommodate different movements and preferences.

Prescription Required for Many Driving Aids

Many adaptive driving aids require a prescription or recommendation from a Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist (CDRS) before they can be purchased and professionally installed. Requirements can vary depending on the equipment and the individual driver’s needs.

Our mobility consultants can help you understand the process and determine the next steps. Contact your nearest Superior Van & Mobility location for a free consultation.
