5.0 out of 5 stars Love the glove!, March 27, 2008

This review is from: Smart Glove with Thumb Support (Small)

At first, I was having trouble with the foam "stay" slipping out of the channel on the back of the glove, but I solved this problem by simply folding over the glove about 1/2" (you'll understand this better when you have the glove on). Also, the beanbag-like palm pad seemed as though it was going to be too bulky, but I've grown to really like it: it serves to curve the palm into a very restful, relaxed position. I find that I can do most anything with the glove on, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Takes some getting used to, June 17, 2006

I ordered this smart glove for my Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Before the wrist support, I used to move my wrist too vigorously using the mouse or even doing other tasks and things would pop out of joint.

So I needed a wrist brace that would support, and allow normal range of movement-- but no *more* than normal range of movement.

This glove does the trick nicely. I can type and mouse freely, but it gently reminds my wrist of the position it should be in.

It *does* take a bit of getting used to. The bean bag in the palm annoyed me to begin with, now I see that it really does help eliminate strain when typing. You have to wear it a bit and sort of crunch it into position though. Also, the supports/splints in the thumb are a little long for my tastes, and I have to be sure that it's not rubbing because I bruise easily (again thanks to the EDS). So far really, though, no troubles with that.

I would recommend this, not to alleviate pain so much, but as a preventative measure from doing more damage.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting product but didn't work for me, September 2, 2009

The glove was of good quality and the shipping was fast. Although it was very reasonably priced it didn't work for me. First, I am usually a size M but the glove size was really big, I should have ordered an XS or S for it to give me some sort of support.
It didn't really feel that different from an ergonomic mouse pad, which tends to be a bit more comfortable since after wearing it the entire work day your palm is really sweaty and the material starts smelling funny.
I would recommend this product only for people with very mild wrist pain who only need a bit of support.
