A mitten for physical therapy patients is disclosed which comprises a tubular body of woven material closed at one end and open at the other end for receiving the first four fingers of the patient and having a slit-like opening on one side for the thumb. The mitten includes means for removably securing the open end of the tubular body about the wrist of the patient. The mitten further includes means for removably securing the closed end of the tubular body of the mitten back onto the wrist of the patient adjacent the open end thereof in a manner retaining the first four fingers in a folded or clenched-fist position. In this manner, the mitten may be used to help a physical therapy patient grip a mechanical exercising bar or the like, or to maintain the hand of the patient in the position for function during physical therapy treatments involving manual manipulation of the arm of the patient.
