The Ergo Writer is an easy to use writing aid designed by an occupational therapist. People with arthritis will find this adapted writing tool comfortably and correctly positions the thumb to alleviate the pain of writing.

The Ergo Writer eliminates the need to grip writing utensils tightly, which can cause pain. Instead, users guide the pen with their finger and thumb, reducing the occurrence of wrist stress, cramping, and tightness. This pen holder can be used by left or right handed users. Each Ergo Writer includes a blue ink pen, but it holds most standard pens and pencils.

Ergowriter Specifications:

Includes: Ergo Writer with blue ink pen.
Ink color: Blue.
Holds: Standard pens and pencils.
Fits: Left or Right hand.

Mrs.

It is working very well for me - I have weakness in my writing hand due to MS and complicated with arthritis, now that I am aging. So this has been a tremendous help in easing the stress in my hand from writing, as well as the cramping and tightness that went with that. I would recommend this aid to anyone who is having difficulty with writing - of all the ones I looked at on the internet, this is THE ONLY one I would recommend of those I had seen. I have written in the past using a pen in that fashion between my two fingers, but that now no longer worked - and this is just the perfect combo!

We were introduced to this product by an pediatric Occupational Therapist. She was working with my son, who has some writing issues. We tried many writing aids, but this one worked the best for him. I also gave one to my mother-in-law who suffers from severe arthritis. She said that the Ergo Writer made writing painless, and she loved it.

Not good if you are left handed! I have neuropathy in my left hand, and this did not help me at all. I returned it.

Ms.

I have a chronic index finger injury, and this definitely helps. Unfortunately it is very difficult to change out the pens, and it is blue ink, so it can't be used for documents that require black ink.
