Velcro

Without Velcro The Gloves could not be tightened enough to provide me the dexterity that they do and many of the tasks I am able to complete successfully, would either be much more difficult, or simply impossible to complete. Getting a grip on certain exercise equipment, to help with Strengthening our functioning muscles, is made easier with Velcro. It enables the design simplicity of a Universal Cuff and Razor Cuff, an alternative to the difficulty of tying Shoelaces and so many other daily applications where a tight, but adjustable, fit is needed to be possible with limited dexterity.

By no means is this list exhaustive. In many cases Velcro can be creatively added to an existing device, article of clothing or tool to make it friendlier for us to use. Many stores now carry cinch straps made entirely out of Velcro. These are useful for places that something such as a rubber band or a bungee strap is just too difficult for us to use. If you have a great example of Velcro use let me hear from you.

Next week we will look at a Sport Cuff that enables a reasonable grip on almost anything with a handle such as a fishing rod, tennis racket or even a pool cue.
