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 gripping band extends therefrom to wrap about one's hand to form a fist and secures to the opposing side thereof. The gripping aid can be implemented by one hand, whereby the user may have restricted use of the hand and wrist. Loops and rings are implemented to help one grasp and adjust the straps while adapting the gripping aid to one's hand. Utensils and equipment, such as pencils and golf clubs, can then be securely grasped and utilized.
