Provided is a hand joint supporter which can reduce the load on the hand joints and prevent hand tenosynovitis. The hand joint supporter (10) comprises a first anchor section (2) for tightening the wearer's forearm with a tubular knitted fabric, a second anchor section (3) for tightening the palm and back of the wearer's hand with the tubular knitted fabric, a hole anchor section (11) being formed as a roughly circular through-hole in the vicinity of the second anchor section (3) in the tubular knitted fabric to insert the wearer's thumb therethrough, and a supporting section (4) extending in the front side and/or back side of the tubular knitted fabric, along the lengthwise direction of the tubular knitted fabric, across the part covering the caprometacarpal joint and being joined to the first anchor section (2) and the hole anchor section (11) so as to support the wearer's hand joints, wherein the stretch resistance, in the circumferential direction of the tubular knitted fabric, of the first anchor part (2) is larger than the stretch resistance, in the circumferential direction of the tubular knitted fabric, of a base fabric section (1), and the stretch resistance, in the length width direction of the tubular knitted fabric, of the supporting section (4) is larger than the the stretch resistance, in the length width direction of the tubular knitted fabric, of the base fabric section (1). |
