The Real Risk Behind Car Transfers

 

Every year, over 90,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized after falling while simply getting in or out of a car. 

 

It’s one of the most overlooked risks for people with limited mobility, especially after surgery.

 

And one that can lead to serious injuries, long recoveries, and a loss of independence.

 

These falls often happen because of weak knees, reduced balance, stiff joints, or car seats that are either too low or too high, making transfers awkward, unstable, and physically demanding.

 

That’s why so many people in 2025 are turning to GripStander.

 

What Licensed Physical Therapist Marc Says:

 

“I often see patients instinctively grab the steering wheel, door frame, or seat edge when trying to get in or out of a car.

 

Unfortunately, those surfaces are usually slippery, unstable, or simply not designed for proper support.

 

Even a slight shift in body weight can cause your hand to slip, potentially leading to a fall or injury.

 

That’s why I recommend using a sturdy, horizontally aligned handle like the one in GripStander.

 

It positions your hand in a way that matches the body’s natural movement pattern when transferring in and out of a vehicle.

 

By using a horizontal pushing motion rather than pulling or twisting, you’re able to maintain better posture, reduce the load on your knees and hips, and stay more balanced throughout the movement.

 

For many of my patients, especially those recovering from knee, hip or lower back surgery, this kind of support makes transfers far safer and more independent.”

GripStander is designed for anyone who finds car transfers difficult, painful, or unsafe. Whether you're recovering from knee or hip replacements, spinal procedures, or simply don’t have the balance or strength you once had.

1. Struggle to stand up from lower car seats, often found in sedans or compact vehicles

 

2. Are shorter in height and have trouble reaching or stepping into higher vehicles like SUVs or trucks

 

3. Experience pain or weakness in the knees, hips or back when trying to get in or out of a car

 

4. Don’t want to rely on a caregiver or family member every time they need to go somewhere

Got my confidence back!

I live by myself and my knees just aren’t what they used to be. Some days they feel like jelly, especially when it’s damp outside. Getting out of the car was the worst part last few years. I used to grab the door and hope it wouldn’t swing away. Honestly, I was scared I’d fall and no one would find me for hours. Since I got this little handle, I feel so much steadier. It doesn’t budge and I don’t have to twist or push off my knee anymore. I can drive my grandkids around without worrying how I’ll get out of the car. I'd recommend this genius tool. With the 90 day money back guarantee, trying it was a no brainer for me.

I finally feel steady

Last year I slipped trying to get out of my daughter’s car. I didn’t get badly hurt, but it scared me more than I care to admit. I was always confident doing things on my own, but after that fall, I started hesitating every time I had to leave the car. I’d hold the door, the seat, anything I could find. My daughter saw GripStander on Facebook, and it’s made a big difference. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and now I don’t feel nervous every time I open the door. I feel steady again.

Car entries are easy again

I had knee surgery last winter and getting into the car felt like trying to climb into a bathtub backwards. Wife Ruth had to help me every single time. And we’re both too old to be catching each other if one of us slips. GripStander helped me tremendously.

Gerald, 70
