“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, hips and lower back 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.”
