Abstract:
The present invention relates to a padded glove, used where irritation and injury to the median and/or ulnar nerves in the hand is a common problem. A method and apparatus for protecting nerve regions while bicycling is provided according to various embodiments. The glove padding is located over boney pillars of the palmar-side of the hand in order to direct pressure and/or force caused by the handlebar while cycling or gripping to one or more boney pillars of the hand, rather than over the entire hand and/or over the nerves. The glove padding is located at discrete positions and not broadly over large swaths of the palm.
