ABSTRACT:
Apparatus to permit handicapped persons with arm and/or hand injury to manipulate a variety of objects. A extension supports a clamp on one end opposite a hand rest on the other. Straps are used to secure the forearm and hand in place on the apparatus. A bar, which extends outwardly from the rest, can have a variety of items attached to permit manipulating them with the apparatus. A supplemental structure can be attached to the apparatus on the side opposite to the clamp and rest with an open channel along the extension to better engage elongated items. Straps can also be used to secure the elongated items within the channel.
