Arthritis Multi Tool

thingiverse

This is a semester project for my high school engineering class where I created a multi-tool to help individuals with arthritis have an easier time getting ready in the morning. I designed this tool specifically to address the challenges faced by people with arthritis when it comes to performing daily tasks that require grasping and manipulating small objects. The result is a versatile device that combines multiple functions into one convenient package. One side of the multi-tool features button hooks, which are perfect for assisting individuals who struggle to grasp and manipulate small buttons on their clothing. This feature alone can save them precious time in the morning when they're trying to get dressed. The other side of the tool boasts zipper pulls, which provide a secure grip that makes it easy to zip up jackets, pants, or other garments with ease. No more struggling to find a suitable grip or worrying about dropping the zipper - this feature has got you covered. In addition to these two critical features, the multi-tool also comes equipped with clamps in the middle. These clamps are designed to provide extra leverage and support when gripping small objects, making it easier for individuals with arthritis to perform tasks that require a firm grasp. Overall, my multi-tool is an innovative solution for people who struggle with daily tasks due to arthritis. By providing a range of functions in one convenient package, I aim to make their lives easier and more manageable.
