Re: One-Hand Keyboard typing software for Mac and PC
I have some questions. I have been looking for a one handed keyboard since my injury. You say this is for touch typist, I used to be good at typing but now I have gone back to looking at the keyboard because of my injury. So I can be clear, this is an app that runs in the background, so I don't need...

Re: Wrist brace pictures
You could use it to connect to a motorcycle handle. I don't know about working the clutch with no hand function, but, I'm sure you can figure it out or swith the clutch handle to the side that works.

Wrist brace pictures
Here is a picture of the wristband I was talking about. I will take more but here you can see it in action I am using it on the handle of an arm bike. As you can see you can adjust the tension of the strap so that I can turn my wrist to put my hand on the handle.http://www.flickr.com/photos/24788128...
