About HandHugga®
Many people with motor disabilities find it challenging to close their hand and hold on to objects. This can have a rather profound effect on daily life, making everyday tasks, such as holding a toothbrush or even a spoon to feed oneself, particularly challenging.
HandHugga® is helpful for anyone that finds it challenging to close their hand and hold on to objects, including people:
- with motor disabilities
- with cerebral palsy
- who have had a stroke
- who have suffered a spinal injury
- with any condition that reduces hand function
HandHugga® closes and supports the hand perfectly, enabling the wearer to hold onto a maraca, drum stick, pen, paintbrush, spoon, etc.
Categorized as Low Tech Assistive Technology, HandHugga® aims to allow people with disabilities to participate more fully in all aspects of life (home, school, and community).
It increases the wearer’s opportunities for education and social interactions and helps to improve engagement in learning and related activities.
