 Use
both hands when lifting frying pans, pouring milk, and carrying
items you find difficult to hold with one hand.
- Choose gadgets and equipment with large handles, or wrap
tape or foam around skinny handles so they are easier on your
hands.
- Consider using various gadgets available for making food
preparation easier. For instance, jar openers may help you remove
twist-off tops with less effort. And knives with ergonomically
designed handles can make chopping easier if your grip is weak.
- Use wheeled carts to carry laundry, set and clear the table,
and push around heavy items.
- Choose rakes, mops, and other tools with long handles so
you don't have to bend.
- Special long-handled "grabbers" can help you lengthen
your reach in cupboards and other areas.
- Consider putting levers on faucets so you can turn them on
and off with ease. Levers are easier to use than faucet handles
if you have a weak grip. You also might replace hard-to-turn
doorknobs with levers throughout the home.
