A simple fixed-hook driving appliance is described, suitable for upper-limb amputees, and its function compared with that of the commonly available ball-and-cup device. The hook is reliable, safe and inexpensive. An attachment is also described which fits on to gear levers, allowing the use of the driving appliance to change gears manually.
