Which aid is used to support or enhance grip during task performance?

• A. Orthotics or grasping mits
• B. ROM
• C. Time
• D. Repetition

Answer: (A)

Augmenting grip with a device that supports or enhances the hand is essential when grip strength, control, or stability is limited. Orthotics or grasping mitts provide adaptive equipment that stabilizes the wrist and hand, increases contact area, and creates a more secure hold, helping the person grasp and manipulate objects during tasks more reliably and safely. This directly improves grip performance, which is what the item is asking about. In contrast, ROM is about moving joints through their range, time is about how long something takes, and repetition is about practice frequency—none of these directly provide a grip-supporting aid.
