Ideal for: Limited movement and flexibility in upper body - arms, shoulders and back. Very helpful for paraplegics, single-handed use, extended post-surgery recovery restricting active movement, balance disorders and other conditions that impact mobility
A single reacher length cannot always suffice all purposes. It is therefore you choose one or more sizes to ensure convenience across the day. You can also opt for a reacher with hook and power grip in case of weak wrist.
Using a metal rolling tape, please test a few common locations you would need to use the reacher to find the ideal length.
REACHER ARM LENGTH | COMMONLY USED FOR | WEIGHT BEARING CAPACITY |
45 cm or 60 cm | Short distance access (bedside items) or those with reasonable arm movement. Also for use by children with limited mobility. Being short in length, they are also easy to pack and travel with. | 45 cm - 2 kgs 60 cm - 1 kg# |
80 cm or 90 cm | For use by quadriplegics and everyone with very low range of motion of upper body and back - primarily when standing. Also good for picking off objects from higher shelves when using ladders or staircases is not an option. Have jaws that open wider to allow for easier hold | 1 kg# |
#Its recommended to avoid heavier weights than this due to the excessive strain it will place on wrist for reachers with longer arm lengths. Go for the Reacher with Power Grip and Hook if you seek one which can lift weights up to 2 kgs.
