Steering Wheel Spinner: Post-Type

A Steering Wheel Spinner: Post-Type can be used as an alternative to the knob- or ball-type spinner by those with hand strength and/or dexterity issues. Among the different post-type spinners are these: Single-Pin-designed for one with a strong wrist but whose hand does not fully open; the hand grips the single pin (no additional support needed). Tri-Pin-designed for one with minimal grip plus diminished wrist stability; the hand grips one of the adjustable pins, with the wrist secured between the other two. V-Grip-designed for one with minimal grip plus needing extra behind-hand support; the hand grips the adjustable single pin, with a foam-wrapped post attached to the pin's base providing added support. Quad Fork-designed for one with minimal hand and wrist strength; the hand and wrist are inserted down through the top of the device, which hold them in position, with steering done primarily via arm movement.

Estimated Cost Cost range: $90-$150, depending on type
