| Abstract: |
A weighted therapeutic glove has a back-hand side, a palm side, a thumb opening, and at least one finger opening. Positioned on the back-hand side are back-hand pockets for removably receiving first weights. The back-hand pockets are oriented to open on the back-hand side proximate the thumb opening so that the first weights are insertable from a direction of the at least one thumb opening substantially laterally to the ulnar edge of a wearer's hand. On the palm side, a palm pocket is provided for removably and containably receiving one or more second weights. The palm pocket has at least one sleeve affixed to the palm side for receiving the second weight.
