Abstract
By providing separate, easily mountable members which incorporate finger/thumb receiving and holding zones constructed for use and access by individuals with reduced or impaired manual dexterity, a control improving and enhancing system is achieved which is mountable directly to conventional implements, such as manicure implements. Preferably, each control improving and enhancing system is constructed for being quickly and easily securely mounted to existing implements and may be removable therefrom for use on other implements. In addition, each control improving and enhancing system is constructed with enlarged, specially constructed, readily accessible, easily employable finger/thumb receiving and supporting zones which are positioned to assure complete operational control of the implement, thereby enabling individuals with reduced or impaired manual dexterity, or with varying stages of joint diseases, such as arthritis, to naturally and confidently use the implements.
