ABSTRACT:
To assist a person having reduced manual dexterity in removing a twist closure from a container, the closure comprises a first tab extending upright from an upper surface of the closure to a height suitable to engage the forearm near a central portion of the ulna, and a second upright tab having the same height and being positioned on the upper surface to be on an opposite side of the forearm and longitudinally offset to allow the forearm to press against the tabs and provide an opening torque. A forearm of the person is positionable on the closure with the ulna of the forearm over the upper surface and the first and second tabs extending upright on opposite sides of the forearm, such that the closure can be opened by putting weight using the forearm on the upper surface with the container on a fixed surface and turning the forearm within the first and second tabs. No forceful digital, manual or carpal movements are required to remove the closure.
