By Tony Bridges 1 Comment | Last Updated February 10, 2021

According to NHS stats there are around 10 million people in the UK suffering from arthritis of one form or another, worldwide it’s thought to affect as many as 350 million. That’s a lot of people challenged on a daily basis with everyday tasks that many of us take in our stride. One of these happens to be writing & help is at hand with a number of different ranges of ergonomically designed pens & pencils.

PenAgain

PenAgain is a range of pens & pencils designed with a Y shaped cradle resembling a wishbone. This uses the natural weight of the hand to relieve pressure on the fingers, more details can be found in an earlier post here

Yoropen was inspired by inventor Liu Bao Shen’s daughters as he observed problems due to poor grip & posture.

 

Today the range includes ballpoint pens & pencils, coloured refills are available for the standard & Yoropen Mini Pencils. The tips angled design helps the user to see what they are writing & the offset finger support helps reduce strain, these pens & pencils are suitable for left & right handed writers.

Ergonomic pens & pencils don’t just benefit those with arthritis, they can help people with difficulties arising from conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, repetitive strain injury or those that just write a lot by reducing stress to the joints, nerves & muscles. As ergonomics vary from one person to another there is probably no one writing instrument that will suit everyone, but hopefully, you’ll find something to suit. We’d be happy to hear your views!
