Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints. Patients with RA have physical impairments compared with a healthy person because their affected joints become painful, stiff and deformed. Wearing therapy gloves has been recommended by occupational therapists as one of the alternative treatment methods for rheumatoid arthritis. The hand symptoms such as pain, stiffness and swelling improve substantially when the therapy gloves are used. A glove is defined as a garment covering a hand with separate sections for each finger and thumb. It is designed for people who suffer from various hand conditions and aims to relieve pain and improve hand function in arthritis as well as to protect against cold environment.
Studies demonstrate that wearing therapy gloves have a positive impact on people’ hand functioning or to psychologically help to relax or calm the wearer.
