Small Item Gripping Aid

Hi there, thanks for your post. Nothing wrong with the item you mentioned. I have found active hands to be well-made and worth the price. Except for the adaptive scissors they sell, and that's because they're made by someone else. As for gripping small items, for years I have been using a much cheaper solution. It's made from a simple white cuff you can buy anywhere, and a Norco cuff that features a tube of foam with some stretchy Velcro wrapped around it. I remove that Velcro and wrap it around the white cuff with my toothbrush inside. By adjusting the tension, I can turn the toothbrush by gripping it with my teeth, without it slipping out. Practice makes perfect, of course! And for a vote of confidence, my dentist says my oral hygiene is very good, especially considering my limitations.

I'm also including a couple of images of simple wrist splint which I use when I have to sign something. Putting a little wrap Velcro tape around the pen can help to hold it more steadily for a better signature. Of course, my signature still looks like that of a drunken 80 year-oldwith Parkinson's! But I'm doing it on my own which is priceless.
