Telephone- and typing sticks

Adapted pencil works as an assistive device for using telephone and computer - useful for persons with impaired handfunction

Description
The user puts a pencil with an eraser end in each hand between index and middle finger. He reverses the pencil to use the eraser end on the keys. To avoid the pencil slipping between the fingers a rubber band is wrapped around the opposite end of each pencil. The rubber band is positioned under the bend knuckles.
