The Aid facilitates many activities, for example using tools, gardening and sporting.<\/p>\n<p>The AH1 is available for right or left hand and comes in four sizes. The aid is padded to reduce chafing. It&#8217;s also available without padding to be worn over gloves for outdoor activities (AH2).<\/p>\n<p>Model: General purpose Gripping Aid, AH1 (padded)<br \/>\nOutdoor Aid, AH2 (unpadded)<\/p>\n<p class=\"bkom\"><strong>Users comments<\/strong><br \/>\nThe user was frustrated by the limitations caused by his poor hand function and the lack of suitable equipment available to help him, so he began designing a range of aids to enable him to live a more independent life. The results were remarkable. As a result his family began to make the aids available to others with poor hand function, and in 2008 Active Hands became a limited company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Inkopstallet\"><strong>Purchased from<\/strong><br \/>\nActive Hands, Gripping Aids, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activehands.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">activehands.com<\/a> (last checked November 2020)<\/p>\n<p class=\"idea\"><strong>Whose idea<\/strong><br \/>\nThe user<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/1260_76_grepp2_ saw.jpg\" alt=\"The user sawing using the gripping aid. \" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The user sawing using the gripping aid.
