A bar is just a bar
Get a Grip
Opening a door used to be simple to do but now I lack the strength to twist the door knob open. Weakened hands can be so darn frustrating. There is no end to the list of things that I find frustrating. Jam jars, can openers, food packaging, even just holding a regular glass is stressful. Over time I've found solutions but the trick is to find them before your condtion worsens.
Falls in the Home
The fear of falling is an emotional stressor that in of itself can precipitate a fall. Although it does take time, after a number of falls the fear of falling lessens. A certain confidence develops once the awareness of management takes hold. It doesn't happen over night but a pattern or rhythm of the body movement that takes place during a fall becomes apparent. People have better results, meaning less harmful effects, when they land on their dominant side.
