    Abstract: A vehicular physical disability assistance device includes a housing that fixes to an interior of a vehicle. A supporting member positioned with the housing can be placed into a retracted position and an extended position in relation to the housing. An actuating mechanism positioned with the housing moves the supporting member into the retracted position and the extended position. Embodiments of a vehicular physical disability assistance device can include a rotatable member within an interior of a vehicle and a supporting member positioned with the rotatable member. The rotatable member can be placed from an upward position into a downward position. An actuating mechanism drives the rotatable member to place the rotatable member in the upward position or in the downward position. Additional embodiments include a telescoping member in conjunction with the supporting member that can be positioned in a retracted position and an extended position.
