The name ‘Vulcan’ is derived from Roman mythology, where he is recognized as the god of fire and metalworking. Notably, Vulcan holds the unique distinction of being the only disabled god in this mythology.
The Vulcan grip is a ‘grip assistant aid’, a type of assistive technology that assists users with wrist mobility issues and low fine motor skills to grip ADL(activities of daily living) items and devices, making tasks such as holding a toothbrush, comb, hammer, etc. less difficult.
