Very good product I tried them at my rehabilitation center after my injury but they are also very pricey. I could make good use of a lot of the products, but have to find cheaper solutions.

The gloves worked wonderful for my 17 year old son. He was severely injured in an ATV wreck 6 months ago and he uses them to lift weights and his arms have gotten much stronger already!

I like your small item gripping Aid and you're active hands. I have a C5 to C7 spinal cord injury and my hands don't work very well. I end up using my thumbs a lot, so, having the loops a bit larger on both of those would make it a lot easier for me to put on and take off. I like the idea of the scissors but they could differently be beefier. I bent mine already. I use a universal handcuff for several things and it works really well. I would like to find a hairbrush with a universal cuff so I can brush my hair with one hand. I looked at your nail clippers and have a suggestion. I took a nail clipper with a wide plastic base and mounted it onto a heavy door stop so that it was at an angle. It works really well for me. I'm looking forward to purchasing some more of your products. There's several things that would be quite useful for me. Hope this helps.

Hi Curtis,

Thank you for your detailed feedback. Sorry to hear that you have had problems with your scissors. Can I ask what you were using them for? We haven't come across this issue before.

Have you tried using your Small Item gripping aid to hold your hairbrush? You can get fairly large items in the clamp if you pull the ribbon loops open a bit more.

Absolutely worth!

Very good. Sturdy. Great for using with gym equipment. I have very little grip strength with my right hand so I was unable to use a rowing machine. Now I can row, do lat pull downs, and upright rows. It’s great to be able to strengthen my back.

Game changing product.

My son is a stroke victim of five and a half years with walking, arm/hand movements also sadly lack of speech. As a result of this,arm/hand exercise is difficult without a useful grip. The Active Hands grip assist is a complete game changer for us and gives my son the opportunity for a wide range of exercises and the ability to grip a variety of pieces of equipment and utensils. We are extremely pleased with the product.
