Abstract
An implement handle is made for use by a crippled person, utilizing a cap adapted to receive an end of the implement and an initially flexible bag attached to the cap. Material in the plastic state is inserted into the bag, the material becoming rigid with the passage of time, and the bag is placed into the hand of the crippled person while the material is becoming rigid. The crippled person maintain a substantially constant grip on the bag during this process, whereupon the rigidified handle conforms itself to his particular grip.
