Abstract:
A tactual finger grip device and method provides increased tactual and visual sensory awareness of finger pressure and alignment especially for the left-handed user. The grip device provides a conically shaped finger sleeve of resilient material having two open ends for inserting and adjustably securing a writing implement. A plurality of raised surface projections positioned about the outer surface provide tactual friction between the device and grasping fingers when pressure is applied to the writing implement. The device provides visual indicia for the forefinger, index finger, and thumb placement forming a natural hand position. Alternatively, the device with a plurality of raised surface projections positioned about the inner surface creates tactual friction between the device and received finger when pressure is applied by the user's finger to a surface. The grip device provides corrective alignment indicia guidance for repeated motions of the fingers, hand, wrist, and arm.

Claim (Index 5):
The tactual finger grip device according to  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of raised projections are nodules of circular, conical, hemispherical, elliptical, or cylindrical shape.
