About 8 months ago I tore all the ligaments in my wrist but my hand was still functional. Yesterday they all completely severed and I’m trying to learn how to do things like putting on clothes or cutting a steak. Just need some assistance to learn how to do these things. Putting on clothes is just more difficult but cutting a steak is damn near impossible until I learn how to do so. Any help is greatly appreciated obviously using talk
Hi Corey,
We can only share details about assistive technology equipment, however there are a number of resources that may help you such as this one https://livingmadeeasy.org.uk/category/health-and-personal-care/dressing/dressing-aids. You would likely benefit from an occupational assessment from a local occupational therapist.
