ABSTRACT:
A glove including a brace to prevent ulnar collateral ligament injuries to the thumb is disclosed. A pocket within the layers of the glove retains the brace. The brace is a modified dorsal thumb spica beginning distal to the wrist and extending generally to the end of the thumb. The brace extends across the dorsal side of the hand, allowing free range of motion of the metacarpophalangeal joints of the second through fifth digits. The brace terminates distally from the wrist on the palmar side proximate the palmar crease. The thumb portion is contoured to resist radial deviation and extension of the thumb, but permit flexion of the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the thumb towards the fingers.
