DIY Pencil Grip to Improve Handwriting

I have actually seen this on Zulily as a white elephant gift for Christmas. However, its a lot more realistic then drinking out of the same cup everyday. These grips can be put on almost any drink. The design makes it even easy to slide in your purse or maybe even your pocket.

Find out about the wide range of features on offer from the bebionic3 myoelectric hand, including proportional speed control, 14 selectable grip patterns, individual motors, and much more.

This is a slide presentation by AgrAbility which does a little bit of teaching about ergonomics and also shows lots of examples of adapted garden tools. I don't garden, but I found this presentation interesting because a lot of older people I know garden, and I enjoy eating their produce! Grips, handle lengths, lightweight materials and the like are described and suggested, either to purchase or make yourself. There's also information about gardening with arthritis and general safety precautions.

This site describes a device that was created to help people with arthritis pick up hot cookware with their forearms instead of using only one hand with a towel or oven mitt; and its heat resistant.
