Stick to pick things up off the floor

About the solution

This solution was developed by a lady with a vertebro-spinal cord injury. Due to the lack of fine motor skills and for being in a wheelchair Matilde has difficulty picking up things from the floor or places where not enough as well. Thus, remembered getting a thin stick that fits into the glove while it is strong enough to pick up heavier things. The L-shaped nail helps when you want to catch smaller things. This solution makes it less dependent on other people, returning him autonomy.

This solution was not medically validated. Proceed with caution! If you have any doubts, please consult with a health professional.
