Abstract:

A hand lever to be held in the hand of a person to aid in locomotion. A rigid, lightweight, non-compressible device which has a first segment with a leading edge. A rear segment has a convex edge and an intermediate segment is between the front and rear segments. The fingers of the person grip the leading edge of the front segment and press the convex edge of the rear segment of the device toward the heel of the person's hand. The top edge of the first segment is curved and is capped by the person's thumb. The hand lever, when held by the person, aligns, intensifies, and projects the hand, forearm and ultimately, the total body drive through space.
