Zipper Pull with Textured Grip

thingiverse

Student project aims to redesign a zipper pull for a client who has suffered a stroke and now lives with right-sided hemiparesis. This condition affects the client's dominant hand, causing weak grip strength that makes it difficult to pinch or grasp the zipper tab while simultaneously pulling it. To address this challenge, texture was added to the design for better grip, and a ring was incorporated to facilitate easy pulling. The zipper pull is attached to the zipper via a paper clip, allowing for secure attachment without requiring excessive hand strength.
