Clench arresting glove

摘要

A glove to prevent involuntary clenching of the hand may comprise a five phalange regions extending outwardly from a dorsal and palm region which are configured to receive portions of the hand of a user. A pull strap anchor may be positioned on the dorsal region. The glove may further comprise five pull straps. Each pull strap may be configured to receive a finger or a user's hand, and may comprise a first end which may be coupled to a phalange region and a second end which may be removably coupled to the pull strap anchor. By coupling the pull straps to the pull strap anchor, a reverse counterforce may be exerted against the phalange regions as to open the hand and prevent involuntary clenching.

1. A therapeutic glove configured to be worn on a person's hand, the glove comprising:
a. a dorsal region adapted to cover the back of a person's hand, said dorsal region comprising a pull strap anchor positioned on the dorsal exterior surface of the glove; b. a thumb phalange region extending outwardly from the dorsal region, said thumb phalange region coupled to a first end of a first pull strap, said first pull strap having a second end removably coupled to the pull strap anchor and exerting a reverse counterforce against the thumb phalange region through the first pull strap thereby pulling the thumb phalange region towards the pull strap anchor; c. a index phalange region disposed adjacent the thumb phalange region, said index phalange region coupled to a first end of a second pull strap, said second pull strap having a second end removably coupled to the pull strap anchor and exerting a reverse counterforce against the index phalange region through the second pull strap thereby pulling the index phalange region towards the pull strap anchor; d. a middle phalange region adjacent the index phalange region, said middle phalange region coupled to a first end of a third pull strap, said third pull strap having a second end removably coupled to the pull strap anchor and exerting a reverse counterforce against the middle phalange region through the third pull strap thereby pulling the middle phalange region towards the pull strap anchor; e. a ring phalange region adjacent the middle phalange region, said ring phalange region coupled to a first end of a fourth pull strap, said fourth pull strap having a second end removably coupled to the pull strap anchor and exerting a reverse counterforce against the ring phalange region through the fourth pull strap thereby pulling the ring phalange region towards the pull strap anchor; f. a little phalange region adjacent the ring phalange region, said little phalange region coupled to a first end of a fifth pull strap, said fifth pull strap having a second end removably coupled to the pull strap anchor and exerting a reverse counterforce against the little phalange region through the fifth pull strap thereby pulling the little phalange region towards the pull strap anchor.
