ABSTRACT:
A supportive material and exercise device to correct/prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The supportive material constitutes an elongated member or strap which may be attached to a glove for retaining the hand in a cupping position so as to reform the Carpal Tunnel area of the hand allowing the natural remodeling of the connective tissue support by approximation support and to strengthen muscles therein. The exercise device, which can be worn interchangeably with the strap or glove, is designed to increase strength in the fingers, thumb and hand, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the Carpal Tunnel area and restoring strength to that area.
