The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of attaching a steering control device to the steering wheel on the deployment of an air bag mounted in the hub of the steering wheel. A steering control device is mounted on the steering wheel rim, is easier to grip than the wheel itself, and allows the wheel to be turned with a pushing motion. These devices are used by persons with disabilities ranging from reduced strength to quadriplegia. Static deployment tests were used to gauge the behavior of an air bag in the presence of seven different steering control devices.The results of testing on these seven steering control devices and two seating positions lead to several conclusions
