Straight Fingers Gloves

Description

Straight Fingers gloves were developed to help improve the ‘bent and/or curled finger’ syndrome that occurs in osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as with athletes who take part in numerous repetitive sports such as baseball and golf. The gloves work by using gentle compression and realignment of the fingers and thumb while you sleep.

Straight Fingers gloves gradually return mobility and strength by gently straightening fingers to their normal position, going beyond the simple compression of typical arthritic gloves. Straight Fingers gloves also feature ‘finger tabs’ to make removing the gloves less difficult for fingers already feeling weakness and pain.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common age-related joint disorder in the United States and worldwide. Individuals diagnosed with hand arthritis will often exhibit limited hand functionality, finger curling, and loss of strength and mobility.

It has been found that 58.5 million adults had clinical Osteoarthritis (OA) in 2005, and in 2009 OA was the fourth most common cause of hospitalization. Today, that number is 24% adults in the United States who have reported being told by a doctor that they have some form of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, or fibromyalgia.

Relief and rehabilitation is possible with Straight Fingers!
