Abstract
A wearable aid for gripping an item by hand includes a main body shaped to be worn by a user, a strap connected to a first location of the main body and a releasable retaining means at a second location of the main body that is away from the first location. When a user wearing the aid has engaged an item to be gripped, part of the strap can be passed over at least part of one or more fingers of the user's hand and secured to the releasable retaining means in a manner that aids the user in gripping the item.
