US 2023/0390093 A1 · HAND MOVEMENT CONTROL APPARATUS

Abstract

A hand movement control apparatus that is operably coupled to the wrist and hand of a user wherein the hand movement control apparatus inhibits a range of motion to eliminate hyperextension of the fingers from an involuntary muscular movement. The present invention includes a wrist member that is circumferentially disposed around the wrist of the user. A plurality of movement restriction members extend from the wrist member to fingertip members that are mounted to the end of the fingers of the user. The movement restriction members are manufactured from an elastic material and inhibit a range of motion without application of a muscular force that must be voluntary. The movement restriction members are additionally anchored to the inner surface of the fingers utilizing ring members wherein the ring members are surroundably mounted to each finger of the user. The hand movement control apparatus is adjustable in size.
