Anders uses a wrist stabilizing bandage from Rehband. A fabric pocket sewn inside the hand on the upper edge is used as a holder for flatware, pens and writing sticks. The fabric pocket on the right hand is open at both ends. He inserts the spoon from the thumb side, the writing stick from the pinky side. On the left hand the fabric pocket is only open on the pinky side. He only uses the writing stick with his left hand.
