ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a finger restraint device to be worn by sufferers of hand and wrist injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, arthritis, and wrist sprain. The device comprises a finger restraining system in the form of a finger, hand and wrist covering which will support the wearer's fingers in a curled position, or to provide a core around which the fingers would normally grasp and be restrained by the covering. This places flexor and extensor tendons in a state of isotonic tension, and promotes a natural position with alignment of the wrist and tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels in the hand and wrist.
