Client Factors: May be relevant when grip strength or wrist and forearm range of motion is reduced.

Performance Skills: The wider body lets the client grip and turn the cap with the whole hand rather than pinching it.

Safety Considerations: Confirm it fits the person's gas cap before use.

Limitations: Gas cap shapes vary by vehicle, so the fit is not universal. It is not a cleared medical device, so its use must be a clinical decision made by the treating occupational therapist.
