Materials/Construction: Soft, comfortable, cotton stretch knit band, satin cord. The HandiWriter® has a dolphin charm, and the SportWriter® has a Baseball, Soccer Ball, Basketball or Football charm.
Instructions: See video on this page. The SportWriter® is worn with the large loop around the wrist. The charm is held in the palm of the hand with the pinky and ring fingers. The thumb, first and middle fingers grasp a pencil and the top loop of the SportWriter® is placed around the top of the pencil. This pulls the pencil back into the web of the hand, and forms the therapist recommended “TRIPOD GRIP”.
