👉 An assist weapon, often referred to as an assistive weapon or support weapon, is a specialized tool designed to augment or enhance the capabilities of individuals with physical disabilities or limitations in performing daily activities. These weapons are typically lightweight, ergonomically designed, and can be attached to a user's body or worn as accessories. They can range from simple devices like grab bars and reachers to more complex tools such as adaptive prosthetics or exoskeletons, providing support in tasks like walking, lifting, reaching, and grasping. Assist weapons aim to improve independence, mobility, and overall quality of life for users by compensating for physical impairments and enabling them to perform tasks more efficiently and safely.
