Handwriting is an essential skill for students. Unfortunately for many students, especially those with physical or intellectual impairments, their writing can be poor in legibility, slow, and they can suffer from cramps and hand pains. This can affect their academic achievement, and their confidence. Often this relates to poor pencil grip pattern. Handwriting can be assisted in many cases by altering the pen grip.
Enter PencilGripsPlus.com.au a great Aussie site for pen grip and handwriting products.
Hills Family Physio runs a handwriting program for kids focusing on handgrip. If a physical or intellectual impairment is involved we provide an NDIS funded program.
Special Tip: The Crossover Pencil Grip is one of the most common problems in hand writing. A Grotto Grip is useful when students cross the thumb over the pen.
Review of Products
The Crossover Grotto Grip discourages crossover of the thumb around the fingers.
This encourages a pincer or tripod pattern where the thumb thumb opposes to the index and middle fingers
The thumb tip is very sensitive and allows fine control of the pen.
This should reduce force required and prevent fatigue and cramps
For treatment of ulnar sided wrist pain, TFCC injuries and ECU tendon subluxation.
