Patent ID: 10140884

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for training writing position can be implemented in the form of a glove with fasteners that secure a thumb, forefinger and middle finger together in a desired writing grip position. A protrusion can be applied to an outer lateral portion of the user's writing hand between a pinky finger and a wrist area, which can be mounted on a glove worn by the user, to prop up the writing hand of the user at a desired angle for writing. The protrusion can be implemented in the form of a ball that is fastened to the outer lateral portion of the glove worn on the writer's hand. The glove can be configured to be customized for a given user, such as by selecting a desired glove size, fastener position and/or position of a protrusion on the outer lateral portion of the glove between the pinky finger and the wrist. The glove is potentially useful for training a desired writing position of the user's writing hand as may be helpful in overcoming some of the challenges related to dysgraphia.
