Device Details

Overview

The Ready Writer is an assistive device designed to decrease muscle fatigue for persons that have low finger mobility/strength. The device decreases muscle fatigue by creating a larger surface to hold. The larger surface allows for both a lower amount of force needed to grip the device and a more comfortable position with which to hold it.

Usage

Attach the device to a pen/pencil by press-fitting a pen/pencil into the holder. Once the pen is in the holder, it should stay in place securely.
