A grip element having an elongate grip body with a first end region and a second end region. The grip body has a first surface near the second end region, with a curved subregion for supporting a subregion of the ball of the human hand, and an outwardly curved second surface supporting a subregion of the palm, and an inwardly curved third surface adjacent to the first surface and supporting the extended thumb, and an outwardly curved fourth surface lying substantially opposite the third surface and supporting the middle finger, adjacent to which fourth surface an outwardly curved fifth surface is provided for supporting the ring finger. The grip body has a sixth surface to support the index finger. The sixth surface, starting from a subregion of the second surface spaced apart from the second end region of the grip body, extends in the direction to the first end region and runs longitudinally along the grip body.

Disclosed herein is a finger sleeve support apparatus configured to restrain relative movement between two fingers on the hand of a wearer such that protection is afforded to the restrained fingers in certain types of activities.

A Finger Splint for treating boutonniere deformities is provided. The Finger Splint has a dual axis support mechanism that allows full flexure and extension of the finger while pressure is applied to correct the deformity.

An articular support for supporting bones connected to one another by joints, includes at least one support splint, which is structured in at least two segments. The support splint has at least one guide per segment to receive a reinforcing element for longitudinal coupling of the at least two segments and coupling means for transverse coupling of this support splint to at least one additional neighboring support splint.

[Problem] To provide a correcting tool by which the center of the body is stabilized and/or a twist in the body is corrected by simply wearing the correcting tool in everyday life. [Solution] According to the present invention, the following invention is provided. (1) A tool for correcting a twist in the body is composed of a cylindrical material having elasticity with a diameter of 7-20 mm, a width 5-10 mm, a thickness of 1-3 mm, and a hardness of 4-6. According to the present invention, the tool of the present invention is worn to perform daily life activities or exercise, thereby stabilizing the center of the body and/or correcting a twist in the body.

An injured musculoskeletal structure is mobilized relative to a juxtaposing support structure surface to isolate the injured musculoskeletal structure from forces transferred from adjoining musculoskeletal structures in order to alleviate pain, discomfort, inflammation, and further injury associated with such transferred forces.
