Aids for when bending down or reaching is hard, whether that's after a hip or back operation, with arthritis, or just to take the strain off. Pick things up from the floor with a reacher grabber, put on socks, stockings and shoes without bending, lift your leg into bed or the car, and wash your back and feet with a long-handled sponge. Many of these are made in Britain by The Helping Hand Company.
