Jim’s Journey to Regaining Independence

Background

Jim, the primary driver in his household, began experiencing a loss of sensation and coordination in his feet. This condition made it increasingly difficult—and ultimately unsafe—for him to continue driving using traditional foot pedals.

The Challenge

As Jim’s mobility issues progressed, so did his concerns about losing independence. Navigating the RMV (Registry of Motor Vehicles) process added additional stress, requiring both advocacy and patience. Without a safe and reliable way to drive, Jim faced significant limitations in his day-to-day life.

The DriveRx Solution

With the dedicated support of his family and the expertise of the DriveRx team, Jim explored alternative driving solutions. After a thorough assessment, right-side push-pull hand controls were recommended and installed. These adaptive controls allowed Jim to operate his vehicle safely and confidently—without the need for foot pedals.

The Outcome

Today, Jim is back on the road, driving independently and safely. The implementation of hand controls has transformed his daily life, restoring a sense of freedom and confidence he feared he’d lost.
