Abstract: An orthotic device including a forearm support section configured to be releasably attached to a user's arm, a hand support section configured to be releasably attached to the user's hand, and an adjustable joint coupled to the forearm support section and the hand support section. At least one electromyography sensor is coupled to the forearm support section and positioned to sense activity of muscles in the user's arm, at least one electrode is coupled to the forearm support section and configured to provide electrical stimulation to muscles in the user's arm, and a controller is operatively coupled to the at least one electrode, the controller being configured to deliver electrical stimulation to the at least one electrode.

Abstract: A wrap-around bottle cap opener for removing twisted-on bottle caps and which includes a generally “U” shaped handle and a flexible arm. The handle includes a tab opener/finger recess. The flexible arm extends from the handle and when unbiased forms a wrap that lies adjacent the “U” shaped top of the handle. A low durometer grip is located at the end of the flexible arm. The flexible arm wraps around a bottle cap with the grip contacting the bottle cap. Twisting the handle causes the flexible arm to come into contact with the “U” shape of the handle causing the grip to be forced toward the bottle cap. Additional turning provides a positive engagement with the bottle cap which self-tightens on the bottle cap causing it to twist off.
