Abstract
Some of the mobility problems faced by the spinal cord injury patient are presented in this paper. Existing automobile hand controls for the handicapped are discussed and current efforts at evaluation and standardization of this equipment are described. Design constraints are outlined for the development of new equipment to allow the more severely handicapped to drive.
