A therapy glove and a fixing splint for fixing at least one finger with a glove, having at least one fingerstall going outwards from the central region, in which the finger to be fixed can be accommodated, having at least one fixing splint, which has a main splint section and at least one finger splint section arranged on it, having at least one fixing pocket arranged on the fingerstall, into which the finger splint section can be inserted, having a detachable fastener on every fingerstall which has a fixing pocket, to adjust a contact position of the finger in the fingerstall to the finger splint section.

A protective glove includes at least a first finger section and a second finger section, each finger section comprising a protective layer configured to be at least partially arranged over a finger part of a user; and a pivot connecting said first finger section and said second finger section. The pivot has a pivot axis that substantially coincides with a finger joint of a user's hand. One of the first and second finger section comprises a rounded protrusion and wherein the other of the first and second finger section comprises a corresponding rounded recess configured to receive said rounded protrusion, said protrusion and recess together forming said pivot connecting said first finger section and said second finger section. The first and second finger section and said pivot define a substantially continuous and flush wall.

The robotic gripping assist (RGA) provides a user with additional grip strength by supporting and forcefully pushing a user's fingers and hand to a gripping position. A motor, controller, and power source are supported on a user's forearm and act as a source for the forced movement. A bending member is worn on the back of a user's hand. The motor draws in or lets out wires that cause the bending member to bend or straighten. By bending the bending member, through rotating the motor in a first direction, the attached fingers of the user are forced into a gripping position. The fingers are moved to a non-gripping position by rotating the motor in the opposite direction.

A glove includes spaces formed at parts corresponding to the knuckle part of the hand and joint parts of the fingers to guarantee the movement and protection of the knuckle part and the joint parts. The glove also includes protection members longitudinally formed in a shape corresponding to each finger, thereby effectively protecting all the fingers. The protection members are formed from a lightweight, soft material, thereby reducing the fatigue of a wearer due to wear sensation. A cover member is formed from a rigid material to protect the hand and each of the protection members from the outside.

A ball glove for catching the ball includes a front glove portion, a back glove portion coupled to the front glove portion to define a hand cavity having a thumb stall. The thumb stall has a back side and a palm side. A metacarpal sling extends within the hand cavity. The sling extends from a thumb side of the back glove portion to a pinky side of the back glove portion and continuing along the back side of the thumb stall to the palm side of the thumb stall so as to support the first metacarpal on a person's hand when the person's hand is positioned within the hand cavity.

Device for the treatment of arthritis and arthrosis of the extremities generally shaped as a case, in the form of a glove or a sock, which comprises: an inner layer made of a porous material (14); a second layer in the form of a paraffin-filled bladder (1) that covers the entire inner space; surrounding said inner paraffin layer (1), the following are placed: a teflon splint (2) equipped with means designed to straighten the fingers or toes (wires made of nitinol or a similar material); a very thin layer made of latex or an insulating material (4); and, finally, an outer cover (6); it may further be equipped with wires or coils (5) around each finger or parallel to the palm or the back of the hand. Moreover, it is equipped with a control unit (12) for turning on and for controlling the temperatures and currents to be applied.

The present invention relates to a protective glove configured to protect a dorsal side of a hand of a user, comprising: a flexible layer configured to fit against a back of the hand and comprising extensions that are each configured to extend along and fit against a respective proximal phalanx of a finger: a rigid shell configured to extend over a metacarpal area and over knuckles of the back of the hand to thereby protect the back of the hand, wherein said shell is supported by said flexible layer and arranged at an offset relative to the back of the hand to thereby define a gap between the shell and the back of the hand: wherein one or more than one of the extensions that are configured to extend along the proximal phalanx of the finger supports a phalanx protector that is configured to extend over the respective proximal phalanx, wherein the phalanx protector is further configured to extend over a corresponding knuckle of the hand; andwherein, at least when the fingers are extended, the rigid shell and the phalanx protector define an overlap and the phalanx protector that extends over the corresponding knuckle extends in the offset that defines the gap between the rigid shell and the back of the hand.

A striking glove may comprise a wrist band; an inner glove for receiving a hand; an outer shell conforming generally to the inner glove; one or more padding layers positioned between the inner glove and the outer shell; and an internal support system between the inner glove and the outer shell. The internal support system comprises at least a first and a second channel disposed on the dorsal side of the glove, and a first strap and a second strap at least partially disposed within the first and second channels and configured in an overlapped and crossed configuration, wherein each of the first and the second strap is configured to be retained within and slide within the respective channel, and wherein ends of the first and second straps extend from a dorsal cavity between the inner glove and the outer shell to an exterior of the striking glove.

An athletic glove having an inner glove with one or more protective members is discussed. Protective members may include metacarpal support members attached to the dorsal side of the inner glove configured to protect at least a portion of a metacarpal bone of the human hand; volar and dorsal metacarpal support member attached to the volar and dorsal sides of the inner glove, respectively, and configured to protect at least a portion of a carpometacarpal joint, a metacarpal bone, a metacarpal joint, and a proximal phalanx of a thumb of the human hand; and volar and dorsal distal phalange support members attached to the volar and dorsal sides, respectively, of the inner glove and configured to protect at least a portion of a distal phalanx of the thumb of the human hand. Optionally, the inner glove may include a protective strap.

The present invention relates to a protective glove configured to protect a dorsal side of a hand of a user, comprising: a flexible layer configured to fit against a back of the hand and comprising extensions that are each configured to extend along and fit against a respective proximal phalanx of a finger; a rigid shell configured to extend over a metacarpal area and over knuckles of the back of the hand to thereby protect the back of the hand, wherein said shell is supported by said flexible layer and arranged at an offset relative to the back of the hand to thereby define a gap between the shell and the back of the hand; wherein one or more than one of the extensions that are configured to extend along the proximal phalanx of the finger supports a phalanx protector that is configured to extend over the respective proximal phalanx, wherein the phalanx protector is further configured to extend over a corresponding knuckle of the hand; andwherein, at least when the fingers are extended, the rigid shell and the phalanx protector define an overlap and the phalanx protector that extends over the corresponding knuckle extends in the offset that defines the gap between the rigid shell and the back of the hand.
