Why Don’t You Get a Grip!

Siderails | on November 17, 2010

Door GripperThis simple gadget can be useful for people who have arthritis, suffered strokes or other weakness which could cause difficulty turning doorknobs. The inner ribs grip the doorknob firmly while the smooth outer surface allows a gentle stroke of the hand to turn the knob. This neat gripper can also be used on outdoor water faucets, and other round shaped knobs. Easily installed by slipping the device over the doorknob. Another great Maddak tool!

In addition to the many popular brands, there are many different types of wheelchairs for sale. For instance, the manual wheelchairs are grouped with a vast selection of wheelchair types. Electric wheelchairs also known as power wheelchairs, motorized wheelchairs and Stand-up power chairs are the opposite end of the spectrum. Take a look and comment here.
