TAKING CARE Cheryl Jensen By Cheryl Jensen Professionals in the field of aging call them "the activities of daily living." They include such basics as getting dressed, taking baths, making meals -- or just opening a jar of spa­ ghetti sauce. When we're younger, we take it for granted that we can do these things. However, as we age, products and appliances may begin to work against us, consuming more energy than we can expend. We may no longer be able to strong-arm open that jar of spaghetti sauce. When we reach that point, "someone" may decide that we can no longer live independently. But being unable to open a jar or step over the rim of a bathtub shouldn't be the major reason for entering a nurs­ ing home. Therefore, the question is: What Hospitalized Admitted to Memorial Hospital Woodstock Rober t Laudick, Wendy Beckman, Woodstock. Virginia Bruce, Ringwood.

Human-factors engineering may not only help to answer that question, but can help industry to shape the products that will make that possible. "I am looking for the gaps -- for where the older adult's capability falls short of what the environment demands by virtue of the way we design that environment," says Mar­ tin V. Faletti, Ph.D. Faletti, who is research director of the Stein Gerontological Institute of the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged, is one researcher who's working in the area of human-factors engineering. After finding those gaps, says Faletti, "I want to see whether we can change or modify that envi­ ronment in a way that brings the demand down to the capability of the older adult." Faletti cites a refrigerator as one example. "The way the refrigerator is engineered," he says, "if you want to pull the door open, that door will generally pull back at you because of the seal. The loading force on the door -- what it will exert against you -- is somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 to 11 pounds. "If you can give a yank that will exert that much force, the door will open. If you can't -- maybe you can only exert 5 pounds of pull -- you've got a problem." Human-factors engineering looks at how the door can be changed so that the user doesn't have to exert so much force. For instance, a pedal that will open the door when you step on it could be installed. Faletti's research, which is funded by the National Institute on Aging, started with the kitchen environment An additional grant of 1500,000 over three years will go to study the total environment. Faletti and his research team set up an apartment that simulated most home environments. The model apartment also had some extras -- the latest high- and low-tech devices to help the frail elderly perform the vital tasks of everyday living. These ranged from the simple, such as built-up handles on brushes and kitchen utensils, to the complex: a robotic arm programmed to perform meal-preparation tasks. "We're dealing with adults who are used to being in control of their lives," says Faletti, "and we shouldn't ask someone to surrender that unless it's the last resort. We are looking at technology and the role it can play in community-based long-term care to complement the human-service sys­ tems we have now." "Help Yourself to Good Health" is a compilation of fact sheets, called Age Pages, published by the National Institute on Aging. These fact sheets offer practical advice on health issues and the elderly. Topics include sex­ uality and finding good medical care.

(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN ) Custom Sale! By Karen Anderson My son and daughter-in-law are expecting their second child in September. When their first was born, they received everything, and what they didn't receive, they bought. As a grandmother, I'm at a loss to give a meaningful gift to this second child. , Do you have any ideas? I'm sure he or she won't really need anything. - B.D., SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. DEAR D.B. -- The nicest thing about being a grandmother is buying things that a baby might not neces­ sarily need, but which are lovely and special nonetheless. You can never go wrong with a soft, plush toy -- just right for the child's age -- that belongs to him exclusively, not a hand-me-down. For a newborn, look for small, easy-to-handle, high-quality, safety- tested items. I particularly like Dakin's Baby Things line, featuring such items as a washable teether, a crib gym and a tiny teddy bear. A few fresh sleepers and practical pieces of clothing that allow real movement are always appreciated. Since these are used most often, they're the first to fade, stain and wear out. But if you want to give a larger, more significant gift, think about the future: Consider starting an education fund for the child. Buy savings bonds or shares of stock (such as a mutual fund). You can add to these at birthdays or holi­ days. (But be sure you give a little toy as well.) A special gift is a family history book (make one for each of your grandchildren). Trace ancestors back as far as you can. Gather some historical and heartwarming vinettes about and from older relatives. These can include stories about various adults when they were chil­ dren or family members' accomplish­ ments, awards or the adventures. Make a special log of the child's personality and physical characteris­ tics from your perspective as a grandparent. Add to it over the years. But keep it in your possession for safekeeping. As the child gets older, read pages to him when you're together. Then present it when he graduates from high school. And don't forget the best gift of all -- one that you can't wrap: your love, your time and your attention. Many successful and well-known people claim they had the courage to pursue their professions with confi­ dence because one special adult believed in them. Very often that per­ son was a grandparent.
