        "text": "The primary difference lies in their operation. A doorknob requires a grasping and twisting motion, which can be challenging for individuals with limited hand strength or dexterity. A lever handle, however, only requires a downward push, making it significantly easier to operate using a hand, arm, or even an elbow. For accessibility and universal design, lever handles are strongly recommended as they accommodate a wider range of physical abilities and provide a more inclusive user experience.",
