Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
Hello, I have gone through your query. This might happen due to too much writing without break, wrong posture and stress. You need to concentrate on his physical strength too. First you need to correct his posture. He need to work on his endurance of gripping strength. Keeping pad over lap and writing itself is bad practice, so avoid it. consult a physiotherapist nearby for strengthening exercises for grip and posture.
