The functionalhand is a revolutionary universal cuff that aids those who have difficulty gripping and holding items. The functional hand provides both adults and children with hand-related disabilities the ability to use a whole range of tools and everyday objects independently, promoting inclusion and dignity.
The Functionalhand was co-created by an occupational therapist and physical therapist with over 30 years experience working with disabled people, and patients with impairments of the hand.
The Functionalhand not only assists you hold and use objects, but also acts as a form of bi-manual therapy promoting the use of both hands. It also strengthens the hands, shoulder, elbow, and wrists – helping to prevent muscle deterioration due to arthritis or degenerative disease.

- Preparing food and holding utensils and cutlery
- Zipping-up clothing and daily dressing
- Personal care such as applying make-up, shaving, brushing hair and teeth etc
- Office and work-related tasks such as typing, browsing and writing
- Outdoor pursuits and sports such as bicycling, sports, dog walking, gardening, using gym equipment and more
