the grip having a first side and a second side; and a recess formed between the first side and the second side, the recess having a shape corresponding to a median nerve on a palmar surface of a hand so that pressure on a median nerve is relieved. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip further comprises an indentation configured to prevent slippage of the index finger of the users hand. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip is made of or further comprises padding. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip is configured to support a left hand, configured to support a right hand, or ambidextrous. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip has the shape of a T-handle or an L-handle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip comprises a pivot so that the grip is able to be adjusted relative to a grip attachment. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip is configured to attach to medical equipment. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip is configured to attach to a tool. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip is configured to attach to sporting equipment. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip is configured to attach to machinery. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip is configured to attach to a steering wheel. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip is configured to attach to a steering wheel by a quick-release mechanism. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the grip comprises a pivot so that the grip is adjustable with respect to the steering wheel. ### Claim 14 An apparatus comprising: a computer mouse for receiving a hand; the computer mouse having a first side and a second side; and a recess formed between the first side and the second side, the recess having a shape corresponding to a median nerve on a palmar surface of a hand so that pressure on a median nerve is relieved. ### Claim 15 An apparatus comprising: a splint for receiving a hand; the splint having a first side and a second side; and a recess formed between the first side and the second side, the recess having a shape corresponding to a median nerve on a palmar surface of a hand so that pressure on a median nerve is relieved.
