Quite a brave thing to do Ullabi, to be so open regarding your disabilities, all credit to you for being so stoical and I look forward to hearing of what tech developments can do to improve the lives of the disabled.Re: Development of technology to aid the disabled. From pegleg to osseointegration
The hand controls in cars have come a long way in design. The accelerator on the first hand controls we had consisted of a ring on long rod that went down the centre of the steering column. A purely mechanical arrangement that meant replacing the entire steering column with a modified one (Kempf hand controls fitted to a Renault Laguna). The ring and rod could be removed for non-disabled driving.Re: Development of technology to aid the disabled. From pegleg to osseointegration
Ullabi, I would agree things have really improved for the disabled over the years, especially with motorised equipment and vehicles. The adapted cars must give so much help and freedom.Re: Development of technology to aid the disabled. From pegleg to osseointegration
