The Active Hands Mini aids are a colourful version of the General Purpose aid, perfect for little hands and children under the age of five.
The following medical conditions can affect a child's grip: Cerebral Palsy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, Spina Bifida. With Active Hands' Mini aids, none of these need be a bar to having fun!
For many young children, Active Hands Mini aids are an essential extra for an adaptive tricycle, helping them hold onto the handlebars tightly and securely, but they might find them equally useful for a variety of other play activities.
Available in pink or blue, Mini aids fasten on the back of the wrist, making the job of fastening much easier for parents and carers.
Active Hands aids are both kind to the skin and made to last. Built from tough webbing and comfortable but durable neoprene (wet suit material) they’re designed to withstand regular use, even for strenuous activities. Machine washable!
