About the solution
Michael created a key turning aid made of wood because her mother's wrist became unable to make certain motions without excrutiating pain which is required to turn a car key.
He came up with this simple device to help. It allows one to turn their car key by pushing and pulling rather than by twisting. Ironically, his mother got her wrist fixed by surgery and so the device stopped being used until he broke a bone in wrist and started using it himself.
