| Title: | Spring Suspension For Typing | |
| From: | Tips On Typing | |
| Original caption: | The sketch shows a spring suspension arranged to help a paral with some triceps (pushing down) power but little or no power to lift the forearm. The longer the spring, the easier the action. This is a great help in any kind of table work with an arm disability of this type. The spring is most simply made of a rubber strip 3/4 inches wide, cut from an automobile inner tube, with a suitable cuff for the wrist. One paral, having only one good arm, has used a string and foot action for operating the shift key on his typewriter. | |
