Door extension handle
This wheelchair user, who has poor hand control, could not get near enough to the door to operate the handle.
An extended handle of light construction aluminium/plastic tubing with two handles enabled client to reach and turn handle on door. An inner tube of plumbing insulation allowed a gentle grip that was easy to fit and remove.
The client can open and close the door without assistance.
