ABSTRACT:
A cuff for assisting a person with poor prehensile ability in holding an implement. The cuff can be made as a flat member having a base plate with a forward extension, and side members extending in opposite directions. The side members are bendable to be formed around the hand of the user. One spring is located adjacent to the base plate between the thumb and the forefinger, and another spring is located generally above the first spring. A pencil or other implement is held between the springs and the cuff for use by the person, the implement being positioned rather naturally for easy use. The forward extension from the base plate supports fingers to prevent flaccid fingers from being uncontrolled during operation of the implement.
