A parallel handle, parallel handle system and method for designing parallel handles for a hand for use with tools or control mechanisms, that includes a handle having a radial section having a side for receiving the thumb and having a side for receiving the index finger, the radial section having a surface for engaging a portion of the palmar surface of the hand, a middle section having a side for receiving at least a portion of the middle finger and at least a portion of the ring finger and having a surface that avoids placing undue pressure on a surface of the hand located over the carpal tunnel, and an ulnar section having a side for receiving the small finger and having a surface for engaging a portion of the palmar surface of the hand so as to position the end of the small finger.

Forceps/tweezers handles or apparatus for use with a hand include a proximal section, a middle section and a distal section. The proximal section engages one of a portion of radial or the ulnar side of the palmar surface of the hand without placing substantial pressure on a surface of the hand located over the carpal tunnel. The middle section connects with the proximal section and with the distal section and engages at least one the middle finger, ring finger or small finger of the hand. The distal section extends from the middle section and receives the thumb and at least of the index finger or middle finger of the hand. The distal section can include a working end and an implement can be attached to the working end of the distal end of the distal section.

The present invention provides a design method and apparatus for a handle or grip providing a shape and structure that fills various regions of the hand except a region in an area over the underlying carpal tunnel. Such design method and apparatus provides for various supports and handles for use by a hand. In particular, the apparatus includes a generally boot-shaped body or portions thereof. The body or body portions include a radial section, an ulnar section and middle section. Furthermore the body has a distal (frontal) finger side, proximal (back) side, palmar side and a thumb side. The body also has radial and ulnar sides. These portions are shaped to engage the various corresponding regions of the inner surface of the hand. These sections and sides forming the body can be divided and used separately for individual applications of the present invention.

Such design method and apparatus provides for various handles for use by a hand. In particular, the apparatus includes a generally Y-shaped configuration, such as for a forceps/tweezers handle with a working end. The handle can include a radial section, an ulnar section and middle section. The handle also can have a radial arm, an ulnar arm and distal leg, with an ulnar end and a radial end for engaging a portion of the hand.
