ABSTRACT:
A support aid permitting an individual with a weak wrist and hand to hold an object. The aid helps achieve a fist-like grasp about an object, without increasing pain. A sufficiently wide wrist band is provided to support a weakened wrist, wherein a hand strap extends therefrom to wrap about one's hand to form a fist and be secured to the opposing side of the hand strand. The aid can be implemented by one hand, which may also have reduced hand and wrist capabilities. Loops and rings are implemented to help one grasp and adjust the straps while adapting to one's hand. Utensils and equipment, such as pencils and golf clubs, can then be securely grasped and utilized.
