EaZyHold Featured in Pedretti’s Occupational Therapy

We’re proud to share that EaZyHold is featured in one of the most trusted textbooks in the field of occupational therapy: Pedretti’s Occupational Therapy: Practice Skills for Physical Dysfunction by Heidi McHugh Pendleton and Winifred Schultz-Krohn.

This textbook is a go-to resource for occupational therapy students and professionals. It focuses on helping clients improve function and independence. One section highlights tools that support self-care activities. The authors encourage therapists to help clients engage in daily tasks like eating, grooming, and hygiene. They recommend using simple adaptive tools such as universal cuffs or built-up handles.

EaZyHold appears in this section as a pictured example. Its flexible silicone strap design offers a modern, hygienic alternative to traditional cuffs. It helps clients of all ages hold utensils, toothbrushes, combs, and more. The strap wraps securely around both the hand and the object. This allows people with weak grip or limited mobility to do more for themselves—safely and comfortably.

The book also discusses access to bedside activities. It mentions modifying the environment with items like call buttons or laptops within reach. EaZyHold supports that too. It lets clients hold remotes, styluses, or even a cup. With EaZyHold, therapists can provide tools that help people stay engaged, even from a hospital bed.

We’re honored that EaZyHold is included in such an important educational text. It means future therapists will learn about it early in their training. That leads to better recommendations, better care, and more independence for clients.

EaZyHold started as a family invention. Today, it’s used in thousands of hospitals, clinics, and homes around the world. Seeing it in a textbook that trains the next generation of OTs is incredibly rewarding. It shows how even a simple tool can make a big difference.
