Abstract: A hand restraining device including a rigid support member and a plurality of straps for securing the hand, fingers and, preferably the wrist and forearm of an individual to such support member. The support member includes a hand, wrist and forearm portions and three finger portions. A rigid knuckle restraining piece is also included to prevent the user from bending his/her knuckles. Except for the wrist strap, each strap is, at one end, secured to an elongated slot provided in the support member which permits lateral positioning of the strap along the length of the support member. The opposite end of each strap is secured to the back surface of the support member by a Velcro fastener or equivalent.
