Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Glove Wrist Support , Medium
Customer Review: Relief at Work
Summary: 5 Stars
I work in an office environment, typing reports, doing data entry, and whatever other matters that require sitting in front of a computer. I noticed lately that my right wrist and palm were becoming painful and sensitive. After checking around online for an ergonomic glove, I settled for this one.
Pros:
- The flexible splint. Just enough to keep my wrist/hand movements in a natural range of motion, but stiff enough to discourage me from flexing or bending my wrist too far.
- The beads on the palm. It's like the cushion that you sometimes find with ergonomic mouse pad. I hate the ergonomic mouse pads because they actually made my wrist aches worse. While I got the benefit of the arched wrist ergonomics so desires, the mouse pad hindered my mousing. With the glove I have a pad that moves with me.
- Fits just right...if you know your size. I used a ruler and determined I needed a medium glove. If you're in doubt do your measurements with a cloth measuring tape.
- Well designed. It doesn't need 10 individual straps to fit around your palm/wrist/forearm. I need ergonomic support, not a glorified cast. The glove was initially tight on my forearm, but it did stretch to fit as time went on.
Cons (very minor at this point):
- Splint may be too flexible for some. If you need more stiffness you can probably replace it with something firmer.
- Hand washing recommended, but the bead section takes longer to dry than the rest of the glove.
- Beads get in the way of mousing. Take that with a grain of salt, because my therapist said I'm a terrible with mousing ('clawing' as she called it). Old habits die hard, but at least this glove is helping out.
For you lefties this glove is reversible. I actually find the glove more comfortable on my left hand, even though my right is the one experiencing the wrist and palm issues.
Overall this glove is a lifesaver. I noticed there was almost no pain on day one. Since then it has even helped with my wrist overall when I take it off after work. So research Amazon and other websites to see what ergo glove best fits you. It's a small investment with a huge payoff.
