Imak Smart Glove for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

“Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. The result may be pain, weakness, or numbness in the hand and wrist, radiating up the arm. Although painful sensations may indicate other conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common and widely known,” according to the U.S.National Institute of Health.

Generally, symptoms start gradually. Sufferers may experience frequent burning, tingling, or a numb itching in the fingers and palm, particularly the thumb and middle and index fingers. Also, it may feel as tough the fingers feel swollen, but no swelling is visible. It's important to seek treatment as soon as symptoms start to appear.

How can carpal tunnel syndrome be prevented?

Do hand conditioning and stretching exercises at work, and take frequent breaks. Keep wrists strait, using a splint if necessary, and always use good posture and correct wrist position. Using ergonomic tools can also help. The NIH also recommends wearing fingerless gloves to help keep hands warm and flexible. Imak makes the Smart Glove to satisfy these needs.

The Imak Smart Glove encourages proper hand and wrist placement, and thereby helps to relieve or even prevent wrist pain. The glove was designed by an orthopedic surgeon, and like many of their other products, received the Ease of Use Commendation from the Arthritis Foundation.

With its flexible support splint, the Imak Smart Glove also features washable, breathable cotton Lycra and a massaging ergoBeads™ pad under the wrist. This improves circulation by offering a cushion under the wrist.
