  • Patent number: 5979015
    Abstract: An ergonomic hand grip is provided for use with a wide variety of devices and equipment such as ski poles and bicycle handlebars. In a basic illustrated form, the grip has an elongated base that is contoured so that, when gripped, the thumb is bent and the hand and wrist are in a neutral position. In the neutral position, the hand is not cocked or hyper-extended, but rather is generally aligned with the forearm. In particular, a thumb support is provided adjacent to one end of the base to position and support the thumb in the bent position. The base is also provided with suitable depressions and/or recessed areas to receive enlarged portions of the gripping hand to cause the knuckles to be in generally linear alignment. Further, the end of the base opposite the thumb support is reduced in size to allow disproportionately more contraction of the lowermost two fingers, and primarily the lowermost or little finger.
