4.0 out of 5 stars Sizing, May 2, 2005

I've just had this for a day, and it seems OK for hand fatigue so far.

FYI on sizing
Measure across your knuckles (index to pinky), on your palm.
up to 3 inches = small
3 in. up to just over 3.5 inches = medium
3.7 inches (or so) to 4+ in. = large.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kinda Good, March 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: IMAK Smart Glove Medium (Health and Beauty)

I just purchased 2 gloves, one for each hand. They were not exactly the same size, one was slightly harder to get my hand into than the other. I am still using them and think that I may start seeing improvement in the comfortability of my hands, but it remains up in the air. The looser feeling of the gloves does feel really good and make it easier to type. I would have also preferred that they use some softer or gelly like substance in the palms of the gloves instead of the bean bag type stuff they currently are using. Overall, if your hands hurt before, during, or after typing, these are definately something that you should at least try out for yourself.

1.0 out of 5 stars avoid wearing anything like it during the day, June 18, 2002

This review is from: IMAK Smart Glove Medium (Health and Beauty)

If you wear this glove and still use your hand, you are not helping Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) or Repetitive strain injuries. You will not be preventing yourself from furthur injury nor will you be treating your injury. If you wear this glove during the day and have CTS or repetitive strain injury you will be making your condition worse.

For a brief period of time, my doctor told me to wear one when I was sufferning from CTS. Later, I discovered that the glove was actually making my condition worse. This glove still allows one to use the hand in grasping and squeezing yet restricts one from using the muscles to keep the wrist from drooping. CTS and other repetitive strain injuries of the wrist are caused by a muscle imbalance in the wrist and fingers. Hence when a person wears a glove like this they are increasing the muscle imbalance and worsening their condition. Wear this glove at night when you are asleep, but NEVER use it during the day.
