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, specially 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.

 

Why Horizontal Support Handle Matter for Safe Car Transfers


Many individuals recovering from surgery — especially knee, hip, or lower back procedures — struggle with safely getting in and out of vehicles.

 

The instinctive reaction is often to grab nearby surfaces like the steering wheel, door frame, or the edge of the seat for support.

 

However, these areas are not designed to bear body weight. They are often slippery, unstable, or poorly positioned for natural body mechanics.

 

Even a minor shift in weight can cause the hand to slip, increasing the risk of falls and further injury.

 

A more effective and safer alternative is using a sturdy, horizontally aligned handle that fits the body’s natural movement pattern.

 

When transferring in or out of a car, pushing horizontally (rather than pulling or twisting) allows for:

1. Improved posture during movement

2. Reduced strain on knees, hips, and lower back

3. Better balance and weight distribution

4. Greater independence and reduced reliance on others

 

This method not only provides physical stability but also helps patients feel more confident and secure during mobility transitions.

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 always the worst part. 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. Running errands feels less like taking a risk now. I'd recommend this genious tool.

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 found GripStander online, 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 ever since then, 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.
