Daily living aids
Last updated: 5 October 2026 · Total: 8 products
These are simple tools that remove one obstacle each. A reacher such as the Etac Aktiv picks things up from the floor or a high shelf without bending or stretching. Dressing aids, including stocking aids like the Etac Socky, button hooks and long shoehorns, help with clothes when hips, hands or balance limit movement. One-handed kitchen tools hold food still for cutting and spreading, as the Etac Fix preparation board does. Adaptive cutlery and tableware have thick, angled or weighted handles and high-sided plates. Gripping aids and long-handled hygiene aids complete the group.

How to choose
- Buy for the specific task that is difficult, not a large kit of items that may go unused.
- Reacher length is a trade-off: longer reaches further but is harder to control with a weak grip.
- Thick, soft handles suit painful or weak hands; angled handles suit limited wrist movement.
- Check whether kitchen and eating items are dishwasher safe, which matters for daily use.
Common questions
What aids help with putting on socks?
A sock or stocking aid holds the sock open on a shaped former. You slide the foot in and pull the cords or handles to draw the sock up, without bending to the floor.
What kitchen tools can be used with one hand?
Preparation boards with spikes and clamps, rocker knives, pan holders, one-handed tin and jar openers, and non-slip mats. Together they hold items steady so one hand can cut, spread or open.
