The invention is directed toward a low-profile, simple, orthotic glove with wrist support attachment for treating loss or impairment of extensor and/or flexor muscle function in the upper extremities, particularly in the hands and fingers, due to a peripheral neuropathy. The glove is attractive, comfortable, easy to use, inexpensive to produce, and can be used with or without the wrist support attachment. The glove has channels or tunnels into which interchangeable resilient digit extensor elements, or stays, of varying resiliency are placed such that stays of greater or lesser resiliency can be inserted if the degree of the patient's extensor muscle control changes, or the medical practitioner in charge decides that there is a need to change the amount of resiliency in the resilient digit extensor elements and exercise treatment regimens.
