Even with arthritis, you can make getting in and out of a car easier by changing the way that you move. This article will assist in showing ways to make it easier.
[edit] Steps
- Swivel in. Back yourself into the car and swing your legs into a forward-facing position. Do the reverse to get out. You can purchase swivel seats to make this even easier.
- Hold onto the car's interior handles usually above the door to balance yourself on the way in or pull yourself when getting out. Install grab handles if your car doesn't have any.
- Place a trash bag on the seat and it will slide with you.
[edit] Tips
- Be careful of not letting your dress or pants touch the area below the door. This is where mud and dirt collect and can really mess up your clean clothes.
