I am 58 years old and have limited flexibility.
I had a 2002 Burton Floater with Gen one Stein bindings that recently fell apart so I bought a full new Burton setup. Nice stu the bindings.
Here is what I did to help myself.
First I reversed the bindings so the release levers are on the inside instead of the outside
I found piece of bicycle brake cable and housing - I have worked with bicycles for many years.
I cut the brake cable to 11" long with my bicycle cable cutter - to avoid cable fraying
I cut the housing to 6 ½" long using my cable housing cutter.
You can do this with these tools it will just be harder.
Next I drilled two holes in my binding highback - it was necessary because I already switched them. First I marked a starting pc I used a small 1/16" drill bit for a pilot hole and then moved up to a 3/16" hole to allow the zip ties to pass through.
Then I drilled a small 1/16" hole through the release lever and then a 1/8' to allow the cable to pass through.
For the handle I a plastic ball head but many things could be substituted instead. I put the large end of the brake cable though the secured with epoxy glue - left overnight to fully dry.
Push the cable through the housing
Position the cable and housing just above the highback.
Attach the 5 zip ties to secure into position. I have this tool that tightens the zip ties and then lets you cut it as well - works great I Feed cable through first bicycle cable lock through drilled hole in the release lever And then finally through second cable lock
Tighten cable locks making sure they do not interfere with lever movement.
Try out the release and enjoy an easier day on the slopes
