Abstract

This invention relates to a restraining device to be worn by sufferers of carpal tunnel. The device comprises a wristlet adapted to circle the wrist of a wearer and a flexible and adjustable restraining harness attached to the wristlet for extension over the back of the hand, with the harness terminating in a finger loop for engagement of the base of at least one finger to prevent falling forward of the person's hand.
