Why Use Wheelchair Gloves?
Wheelchair users hands take a beating. That is why wheelchair users are at extremely high risk for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Wheelchair users must extend their palms, thereby exposing a sensitive nerve that runs through the hands. The repetitive impact of this nerve against the wheelchair hand-grip causes nearly 50% of wheelchair users to suffer to some extent from this painful and progressive nerve damage.
That is why it is important for wheelchair users to protect their hands with well designed wheelchair gloves.
Flexi-Fit Wheelchair Gloves
Wheelchair Gloves for wheelchair users with limited hand mobility
Flexi-Fit wheelchair gloves are soft neoprene gloves with a piece of textured leather on the palm for grip. These gloves are designed for users with limited hand mobility.The advantage of Flexi-Fit Wheelchair Gloves are:
1. They open wide, so that almost any user can put the gloves on with no assistance.
2. They are very soft and flexible. They bend easily and the back of the hand over the knuckles is open so that they do not further limit hand mobility the way that a leather glove will.
As they are made of soft neoprene, they are not intended for very active wheelchair use like Gel-Palm or Ultra-Grrrip. If you are looking for a glove that will stand up to more active wheelchair use, consider Gel-Palm or Ultra-Grrrip. However, people with limited hand mobility who would like protective, light and flexible glove will find Flexi-Fit to be ideal.
