ABSTRACT:
A glove assembly (20) adapted to inhibit or prevent carpal tunnel syndrome includes a flexible glove body (22) having a front side (24) and a back side (26) which defines a wrist opening (28) and at least one finger opening (30). The glove assembly (20) further includes a resilient protector (32), secured to the front side (24) of the glove body (22), for preventing the application of pressure to a median nerve. The resilient protector (32) defines a recess (36) extending substantially parallel with both sides (38) of the median nerve. It is also interrupted along its extent thereby imparting greater flexibility and ease of movement to a wearer of the glove assembly (20). A grip is also disclosed which includes a resilient protector interrupted along its extent.
