Car access step
This client is of short stature with calipers on both legs and has a special mobility vehicle with a high doorsill. The client could not get into driving seat without assistance.
A lightweight portable caravan step was obtained and modified to the required height. A length of cord was attached to the step. The client slips the cord over a small hook on the car door before getting into the car. When seated, the client uses the cord to lift the step into the car, placing it on the passenger’s foot well.
The client now has more independence.
