Summary
This is a AID toolkit for Occupational Therapy for Quadriplegic or limited-hand-mobility cases.
These are building blocks that we use to decide what can work for your particular case.
Blocks/Shapes of different angles can be stuck together until a good combination is found.
The 90degree bracket is meant to go inside the hand. And the finger-shape can be stuck onto that using the appropriate angled block.
You can print rings and holders at different scales until you find the correct size for the hands/fingers you are working with.
So pick the parts, find the right scale for your application, and you can construct many different combinations of utilities.
We have had success with finger-stilts, and with a knife-mount for cutting, and general waterbottle handle. These are all modular parts-based so you can scale and print just the appropirate bits and then stick them together. We usually use prestik first... and then once we think it can work we stick it down with proper glue.
The platform can be used with velcro-straps to attache around the palm of the hand.
I will add to the kit as we go. There are more things we are trying.
The person that this was original made for has an online campaign to help them with expenses for their rehab:
