COMPRESSION WRIST GARMENT, AND THERAPEUTIC METHOD FOR REDUCING WRIST PAIN

摘要

A compression wrist garment is integrally knit of a body yarn, and is adapted for wear on a wrist of a user. The wrist garment incorporates a first high compression zone axially spaced apart from a hand end of the wrist garment, and constructed to apply substantially uniform circumferential compression to the wrist in an area of the transverse carpal ligament. A second high compression zone is axially spaced apart from an open arm end of the wrist garment, and is constructed to apply substantially graduated circumferential compression to the wrist below the transverse carpal ligament and adjacent distal ends of the ulna and radius. The graduated circumferential compression within the second high compression zone increases along a forearm of the user towards the median nerve.
