Avoid a Prolonged Grasp. A phone with a head set means my painful sound hand does not have to hold a phone for an hour when I talk to family and friends.
I have an Accto book holder. Movable arms (see arrow) accommodate different size books. A lever in the back adjusts the tilt. I recently read for half an hour while holding a magazine. Pain in my hand woke me the next morning before my alarm clock went off.
Lift with the Strongest Joint: I use my elbow to lift heavy objects like
cereal and milk containers. My painful sound hand acts as a pivot to aim the container opening while my affected arm controls how far I lift the containers. homeafterstroke.blogspot.com
