Method of Using a Toothbrush with Palmar Grip Handle for Dexterity Rehabilitation

Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing occupational therapy using a toothbrush with a palmar grip handle is provided. A plurality of toothbrushes may provide the palmar grip along a portion of the handle, where the palmar grips may be of various sizes. The palmar grip may be substantially spherical in shape, and sized and adapted to stimulate the central nervous system for improving muscle memory, thereby aiding in the rehabilitation of users suffering from central nervous system trauma. The set of toothbrushes may be used in such a manner where a user may become accustom to one size grip before using another size grip. The palmar grip may also be sized and adapted to prevent over-brushing for all users, as well as providing a more comfortable grip for those suffering from hand and join pain disorders, hand-weakness, manual dexterity ailments or fine motor impairments.
