The 80year old client has Rheumatoid Arthritis affecting grip in right hand; also reach.
As a result of the above she could not apply deodorant to her armpits.
Gloucestershire Remap came to her aid. A 400mm wooden handle was produced, including fitting a foam sleeve ( handlebar ) hand grip.
A T piece was fitted at the opposite end. The angle of this was client-adjustable.
The deodorant "bottle" was secured on a bed of foam rubber to the cross piece using "fixed" cable ties
Result - The client can now apply her armpit deodorant unaided.

Strokes and arthritis can often leave the victims without the use of one arm or hand. Gloucestershire Remap has come to the aid of two of it's clients recently by adapting their walkers. An extra cross arm was added to the two wheeled frame so that it could be pushed in the middle by one hand and the Rollator was converted for for single hand use. The picture shows the splitter that allows one brake lever to control both brakes.

Archery harness and shooting aid for a one-armed archer.
James was left with only one active arm following a stroke and wanted to continue with his archery hobby.
Deer Park Archery Club asked Remap if we could help develop a design that had been previously fabricated but was not allowing the required accuracy. It used a shoulder harness and a clothespeg release from the mouth.
Our Remap engineers plaster cast a new harness onto James shoulder and then strengthened it with fibreglass resin and imbedded a steel foundation for mounting a release catch bracket.
After a few trials and refinements, the new harness and release was approved for extended use. At the time of writing James is achieving improved accuracy and is much more comfortable during shooting. At the time of writing James has shot 1000s of arrows and is now preparing for National level competitions with a hope he may be selected for Olympic team assessment.

This 99 year old lady was unable to reach and turn the handle on her kitchen window to open and close it. Remap Glos made her a bespoke turning mechanism that allowed her to use two hands.
