The Weighted Pen with The Grip is an elegant, professional looking adapted ball point pen that has weight added to help stabilize the hand while writing. This ergonomic pen has a large, soft grip that is comfortable to hold.

The Weighted Pen with The Grip is a therapeutic writing aid designed to help people with hand tremors or decreased hand control. The increased weight of this adapted writing pen increases feedback and proprioception for the user to increase awareness of hand and fingers, resulting in greater control and tolerance. The added weight helps the pen effortlessly rest in the hand, so users do not need to provide downward pressure when writing. Developed by doctors, this adapted weighted writing pen is designed to help improve handwriting legibility by reducing tremors, reducing fatigue, and increasing muscle strength. The design combines two unique, beneficial features - added weight and the patented ergonomic grip. The pen weighs 4.3 ounces which encourages the user to use their larger muscles in the arm, thereby reducing strain on smaller, more sensitive hand muscles.

The Weighted Pen with The Grip uses a standard Schmidt Parker refill which are widely available in office supply stores. The retractable ball point ink pen comes with black ink and is gift boxed.

Weighs: 4.3 ounces.
Fits: Adults & Children, Right and Left handed users.

Daughter

This pen has made tremendous improvement in my mother's writing. Recently, my mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. She had beautiful penmanship and loved to writes notes in cards. We found out from her Physical Therapist that Parkinson's affected her writing skills. The Therapist recommended we purchase my mother a weighted pen. My mother really likes this pen!

Makes a diference

My husband has Essential Tremors and within this past year his ability to sign his name has become much worse. This pen helps make his signature a bit more legible. He and I are pleased to find something that helps him. Your order delivery was swift, thanks!

Mrs.

I was disappointed that the pen didn't help my shaky handwriting at all. I have regular pens that are better. Sorry.

Nice pen

This is a nice pen that feels good in your hand and helps on the days when your writing is not steady. The only downside I have found is that the ink cartridge that came with it was no good and had to be replaced; I expected it to work from the start.

Husband is happy!

Bought this for my husband. He has essential tremors and even trying to scribble a signature is impossible. This pen is weighted plus has a larger grip for him to hold and use easily. His writing will never improve, because the tremors will always be there . . . yet he can actually scratch something off of a list and if he takes his time, write something that can be read. A good investment and for the pen quality, not a bad price.
