Hi,all. I posted on the general board but thought would try here too. Michaela just got her driver permit but we were told she needs a knob for the steering wheel since she doesnt have enough grip in her hand or enough movement in her arm to turn the steering wheel with both hands. I know we all dri...

This would be so great. My daughter just entered 9th grade and I know it would be helpful.

My daughter has Erb's, Klumpke's and Horners Syndrome. C5 and C6 were ruptured and C7 was fine, but C8, T1 and T2 were avulsed.

the problem is she cant use her left hand to grip the wheel. I know we all drive with one hand at times but there are also times when both hands are needed as in sharp or fats turns.

<t>Have any of you been in an accident when the seat belt locks up. I would think this would be dangerous also causing injury to the armppit and shoulder. Just wondering. <br/> <br/> Also Kelly, I'm glad you found these boards and are learning. My 12 year old daughter has a LOBPI. I was born and rai...

<t>For Michaela I had the same thing as on the medical cards on this website, e.g. Left Brachial Plexus Palsy w/ Horners and Klumpkes Syndromes. No BP or venipuncture on left side engraved on the bracelet. They may ask you to take all jewelry off so ask the doctor or nurse for a skin marker. They us...
