A method and apparatus are disclosed for a distal object manipulation tool. The invention facilitates the maneuvering of various objects for individuals with disabilities which limit the dexterity and/or strength of fingers and hands. A flexible length of strapping has a loop at each end, with one loop being adjustable. The invention may be used by an individual to open conventional rotatable fasteners (ie. door handles, taps, containers). The user's arm is inserted into the adjustable loop (proximal end of the device), and the functional loop (distal end of the device), is placed over the door handle. As the user pulls backward with their body, the handle rotates and the door opens. The tool may also be used to manipulate other objects by placing the functional loop over protrusions on the object and pulling the arm loop, or by "threading" the distal end of the device through an aperture in the object and pulling on both the arm and functional loops.
