ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic support glove for providing relief for such things as hand fatigue, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, tendinitis and other known ailments associated with the human hand including a cuff portion having two pockets defining corresponding cavities at the opposite interior surfaces thereof. The pockets are positioned in opposing relation to each other so that when the glove is worn on the user's hand, one of the pockets is adjacent the outer portion of the user's wrist, and the other pocket is adjacent the inner portion of the user's wrist no matter which of the user's hand the glove is worn on. An elongated opening extends along the top edge of the pockets for insertion of a selected therapeutic pack within the pocket cavity. The arrangement is such that the therapeutic pack may preferably be positioned adjacent the inner portion of the user's wrist for implementation of the desired therapeutic process. The glove further includes a hand portion secured to the cuff portion providing means for covering the inner palm portion and back portion of the user's hand. The hand portion has openings formed therein at the terminal end thereof for insertion of the user's fingers when putting the glove on the user's hand, so that the user's fingers remain uncovered and unrestricted when the glove is in use.
