Arthritis gloves need to be tight enough that they exert their desired action—namely to minimize joint swelling and edema, Dr. Badia notes. “Too loose, they don’t work. Too tight and it’s hard for patients to be compliant with the needed prolonged usage,” he says. Some manufacturers will recommend that you have multiple pairs for different tasks (ie: one pair for gardening, and another pair for sleeping in), while other brands claim that you can wear their gloves all the time.

Certain fabrics and materials will be more comfortable for you than others. If you tend to run hot, you might want to choose a breathable fabric—but if your hands are always cold and it triggers your pain, a thermal option would be a better choice. “Heavier gloves hold more warmth, which can be comforting but may make it difficult to move your fingers. They are often worn at night,” Hearne says. “Lighter weight fabrics are often easier to wear during the day so you can use your hands.” Lightweight fabrics will also provide more flexibility in the glove to make them easy to put on and remove.

Wheelchair gloves designed especially for wheelchair users come in many varieties, including cut-off gloves and full-length gloves. Consider gloves that have protective padding. This is a protective layer made of rubber or gel inside the wheelchair glove that protects the hand while gripping objects like the wheel rims. Your glove should also have fastenings or cuffs to tighten them on your hand.

When buying a pair of wheelchair gloves designed especially for wheelchair users it is good to look out for those manufactured using strong materials. Suede is stylish but it is not a practical material for wheelchair gloves because it is soft. Lycra, on the other hand, is very flexible, it is elastic and also very comfortable, however, it is not a strong material compared to others. Also, look for gloves that provide adequate support. Gloves should give you maximum grip on the wheels of your chair to prevent straining.What’s comfortable for one person might not necessarily be comfortable for someone else. Ideally, you should be able to put on a pair of gloves and forget you’re wearing them: That’s the true mark of comfort. Make sure the gloves aren’t too tight or loose-fitting and that no part of the glove pinches or digs into your skin while you’re wearing them. “I would be careful with compression gloves that are also too tight. You do want to have sufficient circulation and not impede circulation to the fingers,” says Jonathan Greer, MD, a Florida-based rheumatologist. Or maybe you’re simply looking for gloves that reduce cramping in your hands, or that keep your wrist steady while you’re typing. It’s important to know what the primary function of the glove needs to be before you buy. Measurement/Fit– Fitting is an important factor to consider while buying padded-gloves.

Also, an unfit glove is just nothing but discomfort while riding. It is important to remember that the fit of the glove can alter day to day depending on the swelling of the hands and joints. “The glove that fit yesterday might not fit today,” said Betty Hearne, OTHR, an occupational therapist in Massachusetts. “Most people can feel if the gloves are too tight. Your hand might go cold and feel tingly. It might ache like a shoe that is too small.” Take the larger of the two numbers and round it up. So if your larger measurement is 8.5in, then round up to 9. This is your glove size.

Vibration is a newer addition to possible therapeutic methods that could relieve symptoms caused by arthritis. While science has not quite caught up with the technology, it could be something new to try if other therapy methods are not proving beneficial. All it takes is slipping on the gloves and pushing a button to allow the vibrations to begin. These vibrations can work like heat therapy to help warm up the joints, thus reducing any stiffness and pain that you might be experiencing. Prior Y, et al. (2017).
