Abstract: An apparatus for protecting the hand from injuries resulting from contact with an object. An outer member and an inner member cooperate to protect the anatomical configurations of the hand by acting as a joint stabilizer to reduce excessive and deleterious joint motion and by acting as a shock absorber to diffuse axial compression, tension, rotational, and other detrimental forces transmitted to the unprotected anatomical configurations of the hand.
