Here's a quick tip: An Occupational Therapy friend of AECorner.com [...]
Here's a quick tip:
An Occupational Therapy friend of AECorner.com shared a tip from an OT client regarding opening the dishwasher door. The client had weakness in their hands because ...of arthritis and couldn't open the door on their dishwasher so they attached a suction cup grab bar to the front. Now they are able to maintain their independence in the kitchen!
Cindy also demonstrates how to use a dressing stick to help unlatch the lock found on some dishwasher doors.

How to Use a Shower Curtain w/ a Tub Bench to Minimize Water on the Floor.
Using a bathtub transfer bench is a safe way to get in and out of the bathtub but it can make a mess and be dangerous when water from the shower splashes out on the floor.
In this quick tip video, Cindy shows how to use an inexpensive shower curtain to decrease the amount of water on the floor when using a bathtub transfer bench.
By cutting the shower curtain in a "v" it will allow the user of the tub bench to feed the flap into the slit in the seat, encourage the outer flaps to fall/hang inward around the seat, thereby keeping more of the water in the tub. The "v" cut will also allow non-transfer bench users the ability to clip the two bigger pieces of the cut together thereby keeping water inside the tub. *** This of course will not prevent all water from escaping the tub. Be sure to place a towel below the tub bench on the outside of the tub to catch any water and to prevent any safety issue arising from a wet floor.

Crutch Caddy: Product Review
In this video Cindy, physical therapist with Adaptive Equipment Corner [...]
In this video Cindy, physical therapist with Adaptive Equipment Corner reviews a product called the Crutch Caddy.
Click on the link if you're interested in purchasing the Crutch Caddy: https://www.crutchcaddyusa.com
What is ...a Crutch Caddy?
The Crutch Caddy is a weighted disk that holds crutches in a vertical position when not in use. The crutches are held upright because of a "lock and release mechanism". The mechanism is mad up of 4 lever arms that hold crutches securely in an upright position. As an added feature the lever arms also glow-in-dark for night time use.
Important Information About Crutch Tip Size
Crutch Caddy also includes two replacement crutch tips. These crutch tips measure 1 3/4 inches in diameter and will fit most standard crutches. Standard crutches usually have an end tube that measures 7/8th inches in diameter. This measurement is the standard for most crutches sold in the USA. During the test we tried to fit the crutch tips that came in the box on a pair of forearm crutches but the tubing on the forearm crutches was too small and could not be used in the caddy.
Will the device work with a cane?
Another questions we had was will the device work with a cane? The Crutch Caddy is not designed to be used with a cane. The crutch tips that are included are too big for most cane tips.
Reducing Risk of Falls
The Crutch Caddy was designed to hold standard crutches in a vertical position at bedside or next to your favorite chair. Storing your crutches in a vertical position helps decrease the risk of others tripping over them when not in use and for easy access to the user.
Product Review Outcome
We were very impressed that the device was able to hold the crutches in a sturdy, vertical position. We also liked that the crutches were so easy to access.
How to Safely Use This Product
Cindy recommends the following techniques when retrieving and placing crutches while standing up and sitting down:
Standing Up
*DO NOT stand up from chair before removing crutches. Especially, if you are non weight bearing on one leg.
1. Take the crutches out of the caddy first then place both crutches on your dominant or strong side
2. Push up using the crutches on your strong side and the chair on your other side
3. Come up into a standing position
4. Adjust the crutches under your arms as needed
Sitting Down
*DO NOT place the crutches in the caddy BEFORE you sit down
1. Place crutches on your dominant side to use for stability
2. Reach non dominant hand back for chair
3. Gently lower self into chair
4. Place your crutches in the caddy
