Joint protection for people with hand arthritis

Toothbrushes and small utensils

Try adding a short length of foam tubing over the handles of your toothbrush. Building up the handle eases the pressure on the hand joints. Another option is to use an electric toothbrush instead.

Foam tubing also can be used for small utensils like spoons, forks and knives.
