The invention provides systems and methods for a writing instrument that
can be manipulated into an infinite number of shapes and configurations.
The invention can be applied to relieve minor stress as well as
strengthen hand muscles, rehabilitate finger and joint movement, and
improve overall range of hand motion. A textured coating can be applied
to the surface of each segment that gives the writing instrument a unique
feel, thereby creating a pleasant sensation and feel to the hands and
fingers. Segments can operate as a holder for a writing instrument body,
and similarly can be arranged to provide a creative sculpture. Segments
can be removed as desired by the user.
