What a great idea! No wonder it lead last week for most repins from our Pinterest board to yours! Thank you to Able Studios for posting this great idea that is going viral on Pinterest. Thank You to Your Therapy Source for posting it on their Pinterest board where we saw it!

Twisting and turning door knobs can be painful task for some with arthritic joints. Some with weak grasp may also find it may also find it challenging.
Convert your door knob into a lever instantly by wrapping foam tubing around the edge of the knob, with a “mini” lever at the other hand. Use your wrist or elbow and push it down to turn the knob.
Materials:
foam tubing, cut to size
Cable ties to secure the tubing to the door knob
