ABSTRACT:
A hand grip fits in the user's hand near where the palm joins the fingers and provides a support to distribute the force from a hand-held device onto the entire hand. In one embodiment, the hand grip includes an elongated resilient member that has an undulated side to accommodate the user's fingers. The member is placed adjacent to the user's fingers and superficial transverse metacarpal ligament. The member prevents the ligament, along with associated muscle and skin tissue, from being forced over the fingers when the user grasps a handle. The member can be constructed of plastic, rubber, or other material that provides flexibility and easily accommodates the user's fingers. The member may be held in place by an elastic band that is worn around a user's finger.
