Our collection of arthritis aids in Australia
Adaptive kitchen and dining tools make preparing meals and dining much simpler while living with arthritis. We offer a range of tools to make these daily tasks manageable and pain-free:
-
Jar Openers: Arthritis in the hands can make it challenging to open jars and bottles. Jar openers with a non-slip grip and leverage mechanisms can make this task much easier, but we also offer automatic “one-touch” bottle, can and jar openers, so no manual twisting is required.
-
Adaptive Cutting Boards: These cutting boards often have built-in knife guides and food holders to help individuals with weak grip or limited dexterity safely chop vegetables, fruits, and other ingredients. We also offer breadboards with six stainless steel spikes to help hold the bread in place while you spread.
-
Ergonomic Utensils: Utensils with specially designed handles that are easy to hold and require less gripping force can make eating and cooking more manageable. We offer a range of ergonomic utensils, including knives, forks, spoons, and even carving knives for food preparation.
-
One-Handed Can Openers: These can openers are designed for individuals with limited hand mobility or using only one hand. They usually have a clamp mechanism that attaches to the can, allowing it to be opened with minimal effort.
-
Electric Can Openers: These devices can automatically open cans with the push of a button, reducing the need for manual effort and dexterity.
-
Kettle Tippers: These devices provide a stable platform for a kettle, allowing it to be easily tilted and poured without heavy lifting or balancing. Kettle tippers promote independence by making boiling water for tea, coffee, or cooking more accessible and manageable. We offer simple manual options and two-in-one kettles and tippers.
We also offer a range of arthritis aids for hobbies, dressing, and other everyday tasks, including:
-
Easy-Grip Scissors: These scissors are ideal for those with arthritis, limited wrist movement, or weak grip. The handles are joined in a loop that springs open again after cutting for easier grip and use.
-
Tap Turners: Tap turners clamp around the top of cylindrical tap tops. The handle barrel is spring-loaded, allowing the jaws to clamp down on the tap, providing a more comfortable grip.
-
Key Turners: This device holds multiple keys in one built-up plastic handle, providing better grip and leverage for turning keys. For security, the keys can be folded down into the handle.
-
Easy Reachers: These tools can help individuals with limited mobility reach items on high shelves or pick up items from the floor without bending or stretching. This is particularly useful for individuals with arthritis in their shoulder joints or who experience stiffness in their upper extremities.
-
Button Hooks: Simplify your morning routine with our ergonomic button hooks. Designed to assist those with limited dexterity or arthritis, these tools make fastening buttons on clothing easy, allowing you to dress independently.
-
Shoe Horns: These time-tested aids are perfect for anyone who struggles with bending or maneuvering their feet into shoes.
-
Sock & Stocking Aids: Our sock and stocking aids are designed to make dressing accessible for everyone, especially those with arthritis and mobility challenges.
-
Dressing Sticks: These simple yet effective tools assist in pulling on clothing, reaching garments, and other dressing tasks. They are compatible with almost all clothing.
These assistive devices promote independence and daily function for individuals with arthritis or other mobility challenges. When selecting these tools, consider their ease of use, comfort, durability, and cleaning requirements to ensure they meet your specific needs and preferences.
Consulting with an occupational therapist can provide valuable guidance in choosing the right adaptive tools for your situation. At Active Mobility, we have occupational therapists in-house who can help find the right products for your needs and collaborate with other medical professionals to offer the right advice.
