A lady with arthritis that restricts hand movement asked if we could help her get out of her house. The problem was that she found it difficult to operate the small latch on the front door. Remap engineers looked at the problem and provided a simple solution: they made the latch bigger by grafting on a screwdriver handle! The client now gets out more.
A lady with arthritis in her hands could not operate the handle to open her washing machine. The handle as fitted by the manufacturer was very small, and required a robust grip to disengage the latch. As she lives alone, the lady had to ask a kind neighbour to help every time she wanted to use her washing machine. Her daughter called in a Remap engineer, who made a simple extension to the handle and attached it to the original, allowing the lady to open the door herself with ease.
A client has rheumatoid arthritis in her hands, affecting her finger functioning and grip. She also suffers with angina and so needs to use a Nitromin spray, but cannot operate the rather small spraycan due to her arthritis. We built a spraycan holder that is big enough for her to grip in one hand while operating the spray using the palm of her other hand. She can now apply the spray with ease, whenever required.
