Yesterday I wrote about the Foam Grip Tubing from Vive Health.  Vive Health offers so many daily living aids and other solutions for individuals with or without special needs.  Since they have so much to offer, I thought I’d write about some more products from the company, such as their assortment of Arthritis Gloves!

Did you know there are over 100 forms of arthritis?!  Simply defined, arthritis is “inflammation in one or more of your joints.”  The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. OrthoInfo goes on describing hand arthritis specifically:

“The hand and wrist have multiple small joints that work together to produce motion, including the fine motion needed to thread or tie a shoelace. When the joints are affected by arthritis, activities of daily living can be difficult. Arthritis can occur in many areas of the hand and wrist and can have more than one cause.

Over time, if the arthritis is not treated, the bones that make up the joint can lose their normal shape. This causes more pain and further limits motion.”

If you or a loved one have arthritis in your hand/fingers, check out Vive Health’s assortment of arthritis gloves.
