Ways to reduce active effort, task switching, unnecessary trips, heavy transfers and cleanup when energy is limited.
Kitchen setup and cooking methods for people who prepare food from a wheelchair or primarily seated position.
Kitchen workflows that reduce prolonged standing, repeated walking, floor-level reaching and unnecessary movement between work zones.
Standing tolerance is not a single quantity. There is how many minutes on your feet an evening costs in total, and there is the longest stretch it demands without a break, and the second number is the one that decides the meal.
