Margaret E. Robinson - Cincinnati OH

US Classification:

Abstract:

A remedial hand wear article is for use by individuals who have suffered nerve damage which diminishes use of the hand. The article comprises (a) a glove for comfortably fitting onto a hand of an individual, (b) an enclosure permanently attached on the glove's top side and superimposed over at least one finger of the glove, and (c) a restraining member positioned within the enclosure so as to be operably associated with a finger of the individual to hold that finger in a desired position. The hand wear article is designed to remedy problems caused by different nerve damage in that one to five enclosure elongated sections are permanently attached over glove fingers depending on which finger(s) of the individual is affected by the damaged nerve. The glove portion of the hand wear article provides comfort to the user while also serving to lessen the noticeability of any hand or finger grotesqueness. The restraining members are either spring-like or rigid in nature depending on the particular nerve damage and care which is needed.
