If you or someone you know, experiences tremors during fine motor tasks, the HandWeight could “lend a hand.” The HandiWeight weighted glove was created by HandiThings. This glove increases kinesthetic awareness during fine motor or self-help activities. It provides proprioceptive input, increases sensory feedback, and can also be used for strengthening exercises. It assists in promoting a good pencil grip and more control when writing. The HandWeight is a uniquely designed weighted pouch that rests on the back of the hand and is fingerless. It is held in place by elastic thumb and finger loops and a hook&loop wrist strap, leaving the palm of the hand completely open.
We are excited to have a HandiWeight glove at both of our Centers. Contact IPAT to check out this “handi” tool. 1-800-895-4728 or email ipatinfo@ndipat.org.
