ABSTRACT:
A remedial prophylaxis for carpal tunnel syndrome to provide for the decompression of the structures of the carpal tunnel by using a glove having finger holes for the fourth finger and thumb and a tensioning strap for circumscribing the palmar and dorsal regions of the hand to hold the first and fifth metacarpal regions of the hand in fixed opposition to each other to effect a reducing of the stretch of the transverse carpal ligament and the deepening of the carpal tunnel for relieving the compression force on the median nerve without reducing the manual dexterity of the hand.
