If You Can’t Use Your “Good Hand”, Tech Can Help

Losing the use of a hand is tough. Losing the use of your ‘good hand’ is especially traumatizing. It may have been an accident, due to your own stupidity, or something worse (worse meaning the loss is permanent); and you are going to have to learn to do certain things an entirely different way. Regardless of how it happened, you are going to have to adapt to a new way of life, either for a short time or forever. Thankfully, there is technology available to help you with the simple daily tasks that have now become difficult.

When you suddenly lose the ability to use your dominant hand, you quickly realize all the things you've taken for granted. Tasks you've been able to do unconsciously for decades suddenly present a real challenge. It's a humbling experience.

Thankfully, technology exists to help get you through the awkwardness.
