From the article: Arthritis Aids Make Living With Osteoarthritis Easier
Assistive devices can be very useful for people living with limitations related to osteoarthritis. There are mobility aids, such as canes, walkers, and scooters and other gadgets to help with just about any activity of daily living.
Assistive devices are available to help you in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, car, and more. Many arthritis patients are unaware of just what's available -- and when they hear about a useful assistive device, they wonder how they ever lived without it. What assistive devices have been invaluable to you?

Assistive devices
- I can not cope now with out my canes. I use one all the time and two when I am walking for long distances. Would propably have a few falls if it was not for the canes.

- The aid I use every day has a long handle that grasps things that are hard to reach.I'm not sure what it's called. I also use it to pull full laundry baskets instead of carrying them.

giant nutcracker
- I have a large shaped nutcracker on my counter. I use it to open everything! Grip is one of the first things to go and this lets me open most things myself.
