Guideline
35
|
Controls,
handles and door/drawer pulls should be operable
with one hand, require only a minimal amount of
strength for operation, and should not require tight
grasping, pinching or twisting of the wrist. (Includes
handles/knobs/pulls on entry and exit doors, appliances,
cabinets, drawers and plumbing fixtures, as well
as light and thermostat controls/switches, intercoms,
and other room controls.) |
| Comment:
Controls meeting this guideline will greatly aid
people limited abilities or arthritis. A simple
way to test a product to see if it meets this guide
line is to try to operate it using a closed fist. |
