An elasticized glove configured to fit over a patient's hand and extend to said patient's wrist for offloading extensor muscles and tendons of the patient's hand and preventing muscle and tendon pathologies in the patient's hand, the elasticized glove comprising:
- an elasticized silicone layer at least at the glove's finger end and wrist distal end with the glove having an inside layer of silicone fabric;
- a wrist terminal in a wrist securing area;
- a central piece on the glove located in an area proximal to the dorsal carpus bones of the patient's hand, when arranged over the patient's hand, which joins with said wrist terminal by an articulation, said central piece defining a plurality of slots each with at least two central perforations;
- a plurality of rigid finger terminals, each rigid finger terminal being defined on a finger securing element on each finger of the glove in an area proximal to a dorsal part of a medial phalange of a finger of the patient's hand, when arranged over the patient's hand, each securing element having two finger connection bosses;
- at least four rigid guides on the glove located between the area proximal to the dorsal carpus bones of the patient's hand, when arranged over the patient's hand, and a knuckle area of the patient's hand, when arranged over the patient's hand, and four rigid guide pieces in the knuckle area of the patient's hand, when arranged over the patient's hand, with each rigid guide piece following the direction of a finger of the patient's hand when arranged over the patient's hand;
- five elastic elements, one for each finger of the glove, comprising at one end two extruded elastic bosses, each of the elastic bosses being connectable to said central perforations, and at an other end, elastic perforations, complementary with said finger connection bosses of a rigid finger terminal, thereby defining different tension graduation levels according to a position in which the elastic elements are coupled, said elastic elements being located between said central piece and said rigid finger terminal, secured by said bosses and perforations, guided by rigid guides of the at least four rigid guides, and extending along a path of the extensor tendons of the fingers of the patient's hand, when arranged over the patient's hand, disposed in the paths extending from said central piece to the finger terminals to ensure the correct alignment thereof, with the elastic element which corresponds to the thumb of the glove being connected only between said central piece and said rigid finger terminal;
- and
- a plurality of pads disposed on a palm portion of the glove alignable with the palm of the hand in the radial area of the patient's hand, when arranged over the patient's hand, and, the ulnar area, the hypothenar area, the thenar area, and the area of the palmar digital protuberance.
