Cover
Illustration: Adaptive devices are essential to patients with rheumatic
diseases. Using longer-lever arms or putting handles on small items allows
tasks to be done with less effort. The extended handle on the kitchen
faucet, the key holder, and the rubber door knob extension are all examples
of this principle. Such techniques also avoid deforming stresses on small
joints, an important joint protection principle. Reprinted from the AHPA
