A friend of mine always tells me how therapeutic gardening is for her, and how when she first was diagnosed with arthritis she struggled to find items she needed. So I just received a magazine listing some new gardening items for those with arthritis and dexterity issues from aidsforarthritis.com and would like to pass them along! The three items below can be found there.
Bionic Garden Gloves, that improve grip strength by 50% Item 7-05
Upper Hand, a handle you can attach to your garden tools giving more leverage, power and control Item J46
Outside faucet turner, to give better turning leverage for outside faucets, hot water heaters, well pumps, valves under basins, and on water line shut off valves in basements, etc. Can be carried around and transferred. Item E26
You can find more gardening tools here, such as easy grip trowels, hoes and an arm support cuff, among other items.
For other recreational items for those with disabilities who'd like to fish, bowl, cycle, golf or swim, etc. check out Access to Recreation.
Please feel free to leave more links in the comments, if you've found information you'd like to share.
