The purpose of this study was two-fold : 1. to examine and compare the movements and daily pattern of work of able-bodied and disabled housewives in their own kitchens, 2. to investigate the problems and needs of the disabled housewife in relation to her particular kitchen environment. The findings showed that housewives with disabilities tended to have a shorter day, starting later and finishing earlier than the able-bodied housewife, but the day's work in the kitchen followed much the same pattern for all housewives with peak periods of kitchen activity before meals particularly when preparing dinner.
