Seeing Jack in a big-boy outfit makes me think of Bob Dole. He'd put a pen in his contracted right hand (war wound) so it didn't look too weird in photographs or come across like he was making a fist.his hand is always in a cock-grabbing grip because of spasticity. this isn't uncommon in stroke victims and happens when there's brain damage in the areas that control muscle movement, which can result in stiffness/tightness in limbs. the condition can improve with the proper therapy but jack doesn't give a shit and quit therapy after a couple weeks because he didn't want to keep paying for it
i'm not sure why he doesn't just keep that thing in a sling. other posters have mentioned that his dead arm constantly hanging down all day must be putting quite a lot of pressure on his shoulder and it makes sense. you can even see on video he's sometimes leaning to his right, probably because of this
since jack isn't doing anything about it, it's only going to get worse
Like you said, I'm sure Jack can think of some kind of object, longer than it is wide, to carry around with him.
