An ergonomic hand, wrist and forearm supporter useful for prevention of injuries caused by repetitive motions while handling implements has a flexible glove body. The palm portion and back portion of the glove body are joined together so as to define a first opening for receiving a forefinger, a second opening for receiving a little finger, and a generally central third opening for simultaneously receiving the middle and index fingers, as well as a fourth opening for receiving a thumb. The palm portion includes a protective padded overlay secured over an area corresponding to a palm's heel area. A plurality of durable protective stays substantially parallel to each other and spaced apart a predetermined distance are transversely secured to the palm portion generally between the palm's heel area and the distal end of the glove body. The stays are capable of flexing for accommodating a hand grabbing an implement. A wrist and forearm protective portion extends from the proximal end of the glove body and is of sufficient length to extend a predetermined distance from the wrist along the forearm. The wrist and forearm protective portion has an overflap and an elastomeric band for securing to the wrist and forearm, and a protective overlay guard to protect the inside of the wrist.
