Grace replied to Grace's discussion Help for those with sore or dislocating hands :)"I ended up trading in my iPad for a mini one for uni because I couldn't hold it long enough! The splints are so much better than the plastic or Velcro ones. The jeweller worked with my OT and a 3D modellor to design the splints. They were 3D…"

I frequently dislocate my fingers and wrists, I've now got several metal splints made by a jeweller (check my index finger in the photos for one), so the idea of holding and using my iphone in one hand sucks. Then I found Popsockets (ironic name considering what I use it for). Its basically a small disc that sticks to the back of your phone or tablet and…See More
