Abstract: A prosthetic device to enable persons incapable of proper control of their fingers to manipulate objects such as brushes, pencils, or toys. It resembles a partial glove, covering only the palm, held in place with straps around the back of the hand. It uses hook and loop pile (Velcro for example) both to fasten the straps to the body and as a patch on the palm side to which objects fitted with mating pile can be attached. One strap is long enough to provide added support by passing over the handle of the object. A separate patch with a ring in the center is described--this works better for grasping reasonably rigid, extensive objects like balls.
