What would be the minimum door size for a 95th percentile male pilot with arthritis and stiff joints;)?

Do you think 2 feet wide by 2.5 feet tall is acceptable, or should it be made larger? Smaller?

Pertinent details: cantilever high wing, so no struts to get around. Semi-reclined seat. Door threshold maybe 1.5-2 feet off ground.
