Therapeutic gloves and their components

摘要

A therapeutic glove includes two glove bodies. The hand is inserted into the inner body (310), which is shaped like a glove. The outer body (320) can also be like a glove or part of a glove, but the outer body's back side can be pulled towards the wrist and attached to the inner body to adjust the glove tension. In some embodiments, the glove has a single body or multiple bodies, and the glove creates a force that pushes the fingers (or at least some fingers) to a straight position away from the palm. In some embodiments, the glove is thinner on the palm side than the back side. Other embodiments are also provided.
