Project update

We are trying to solve fine motor skills, for example:
Computer skills (typing, computer mouse)
Holding books
Self care (eating utensils, toothbrush, soap, tying shoes, hairbrush, etc.)
Sewing
Cleaning (?)

Brainstormed solutions:
Vacuum gloves, helps you to pick up things without grasping them
Sorry, Rielly, those pinchers are already being used for arthritis
Super-sized tools/utensils
Wrap-around gel package, kind of like those neck coolers they sell at the fair, except without the pouring of water to make it work, and not so thick and squishy; and with velcro on the ends
Arthritis ‘leatherman’ or ‘swiss army knife’ with various useful utensils (yes, I am using that word a lot)
PVC pipe that you can put anything into
Injectible fake cartilage
Gel-like steering wheel cover (if that’s not what you were thinking, Christina, sorry)
Electrode shock, like Rielly’s hand design

You guys should be able to put things into here, since I’ve shared it with you. If not, email me and I’ll see if I can work it out!
