Limb Difference
Individuals with limb differences, including amputees, face unique challenges in handling objects. EaZyHold offers a versatile solution by adapting to different limb shapes and sizes, enabling a secure hold on a variety of objects. This adaptability allows users to perform tasks ranging from basic self-care to more complex activities such as using tools or playing sports, enhancing their independence and ability to participate in daily life.
For children with limb differences, EaZyHold facilitates participation in play and educational activities that are crucial for their development and inclusion in social settings. By enabling a secure and comfortable hold on toys, writing implements, and educational materials, EaZyHold helps minimize the physical limitations and boosts confidence among young users.
In rehabilitation settings, EaZyHold is used to assist individuals recovering from amputation or adapting to prosthetic limbs. It can assist in gripping and handling objects while individuals are still learning to use their prosthetics, thereby smoothing the transition and supporting continuous engagement in rehabilitation and daily activities. In many cases users will continue to use EaZyHolds with their prosthetics for activities that require a finer level of dexterity.
EaZyHold helps children adapt and thrive
Children with disabilities are children first. Like all kids, they need the opportunity to make choices and do for themselves. This means that eating, drinking, and grooming may take a little more time for some, but doing these daily living activities by themselves helps children build self-confidence and increases independence.
The future success of infants and toddlers with disabilities depends on the development of life skills; to self-soothe, self-feed, play with toys, go to school and participate in art and sports. All important markers and milestones in a child's life.
• Choose inclusive aids that are inviting, colorful and ergonomically designed to enhance the toy or tool without visually appearing to be a medical device.
• Use aids that adapt easily to wet environments, which will encourage good personal hygiene habits, and allow for outdoor activities including water play.
• Consider low tech assistive technology over expensive 3-D or robotic arms/hands which can be cumbersome, visually intrusive, and hard to access.
• Provide tools that multi-task; to aid grasping, holding, pushing or lifting for gross and fine motor disabilities.
• Incorporate objects that are multi-sensory; make sounds, are stimulating, and have a visual interest that is age appropriate.
Assistive technology like EazyHold can help children with a disabilities develop these important skills within meaningful life activities. Giving your child the ability to grasp an object, focus their energy on the task at hand, and for the length of time it takes to use it.
