Three simple and inexpensive devices were developed by a man with complete C6 quadriplegia to increase his independence: a reacher that allows him to lift and move objects ranging in size from ballpoint pens to beverage cans; a wrist splint that permits him to open pop-top cans, dial a telephone, open a drawer, and page through a book; and an implement holder that stabilizes small devices.
