Tap reacherThe client, who is short of stature and has very short arms, could not reach to operate the taps in her kitchen.

Levers were screwed into the tap handles and a ring braised on to the end of each lever. Onto a stick was attached a small brass lug which would fit into the ring on each lever. Using the stick, and placing the lug in the tap lever ring, the taps could be easily turned by pushing or pulling on the stick.

The client can now operate the kitchen taps. Previously she had been going upstairs to the bathroom (where she could reach the taps) whenever she needed water. Since she can only move about with the aid of crutches this was a very difficult operation.
