Historical information

In 1999, a series of photos were taken of Arthritis Victoria member, Glenda Shalman, demonstrating arthritis-friendly gardening tools and aids, and how to use them. Some of these photos were used to accompany an article in the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria's quarterly magazine, Arthritis Update. In this photo, a woman demonstrates how to sit back on her calves and feet while kneeling on a 'garden kneeler' mobility aid. From this position, she leans forward to dig a small garden fork or trowel into the ground with one hand.
