Device Description
The Universal Hand Adaptive Holder is an adaptive grip designed to assist individuals who have difficulty holding or grasping everyday items. This device can be used as assistive technology to support individuals with limited hand strength, reduced coordination, arthritis, cerebral palsy, stroke, or other conditions that impact fine motor control. It enables users to securely hold objects and participate more independently in daily activities.
The handle uses a universal cuff design with an elastic cord that holds items in place, allowing users to insert objects such as pens, pencils, toothbrushes, eating utensils, styluses, or cups. This reduces the need for a tight grasp and supports functional use of the hand in both horizontal and vertical positions. It may benefit children developing fine motor skills, adults with neurological conditions, or individuals recovering from injury by increasing access to writing, self-care, and communication tasks.
The Functional Hand Universal Handle measures approximately 5 inches in length and 1.5 inches at its widest point, with a handle circumference of about 3.6 inches. It can hold items ranging from approximately 0.125 inches to 2.5 inches in diameter. Features include an ergonomic shape designed to fit the hand, an elastic cord to secure various objects, compatibility with a wide range of item sizes, and a lightweight, durable material that can be cleaned as needed.
