I am presently working with a quadrilateral amputee trying to find methods 
and/or device which will help her to be more independent. 
 
Somewhere in the distant past I have seen a mouthstick which had a plunger on 
the mouthpiece which, when pressed with the tongue opened a small clip on the 
end of the stick. This allowed the user to lift and move small objects. I am 
unable to locate this type mouthstick or anything similar. 
 
If anyone knows where this could be obtained I would appreciate the 
information.
