Specialized gloves, also known as adaptive gloves or assistive gloves, are designed to support individuals with limited hand strength, dexterity, or sensory impairments. These gloves provide enhanced grip, protection, and tactile feedback to help users perform daily tasks more comfortably and safely. Often used by people with arthritis, neuropathy, or other conditions affecting hand function, specialized gloves improve independence and reduce pain during activities such as typing, writing, or handling tools. They are crafted from materials that balance flexibility and support, making them a practical accommodation in both workplace and personal settings.
Begin by selecting gloves that match the user’s specific needs, such as compression level or material type. Fit the gloves snugly but comfortably to avoid restricting circulation. Use them during activities that require hand support or protection, like typing or handling tools. Regularly clean the gloves according to manufacturer instructions to maintain hygiene and durability. Replace gloves when they show signs of wear to keep performance optimal.
