The FM (fine motor) glove was created by an occupational therapist who realized the tremendous need for therapists and teachers to have an effective tool to assist children in their school environment. Problems with correctly holding writing instruments, scissors and feeding utensils as well as specific fine motor grasps can directly be addressed effectively with the use of the FM glove. Also vari
ous fine grasps that encourage precision and control can be achieved with short training sessions over a period of time using the glove. By limiting specific digits, intrinsic hand muscles can be exercised and strengthened while also promoting the development of the palmar arches. Functional activities requiring finger isolation skills become more refined.
