Experienced
users of adaptive driving aids, as well as those who have just been
introduced to them, will appreciate the depth of experience and the
number of options available to them here at VMi New England Mobility
Center and Automotive Innovations, Inc.
Adaptive
driving aids are as diverse as the people who use them, but they do
fall into several distinct categories; basic driving aids, reduced effort modifications and advanced driving controls.
Reduced Effort Modifications
Reduced effort modifications are used in conjunction with hand controls and other adaptations to reduce the physical strength required to perform the operations of braking and steering. Reduced effort braking and reduced effort steering are modification packages that make the steering wheel or brake pedal easier to turn or push. The level of assistance or “reduced-effort” is adjusted to the level prescribed by the driving rehabilitation specialist, based on the strength of the driver.
- Drive-Master’s low effort and no effort braking modifications significantly reduces the required pressure needed to press down on a pedal to brake.
- Drive-Master’s reduced effort steering modification reduces the amount of effort it takes to move a steering wheel. There is low effort to no effort available depending on the model of car and tire size.
