My hands are quite severely affected. Five years ago, tests revealed that I had lost 50% of my strength. I am not sure if there are any real good tips to coping with this. Occupational therapists can provide you with adaptive devices. I can't turn pages very well at all, nor use my pincher grasp. In addition, arthritis makes things very painful.

The biggest adaptation I have made is to allow a lot of extra time for things....you have to be patient with yourself.

Again, consult an OT and also, you can look online for adaptive devices.
