Abstract

The present invention provides a design method and apparatus for a handle or grip providing a shape and structure that fills various regions of the hand except a region in an area over the underlying carpal tunnel. Such design method and apparatus includes a generally boot-shaped body (121a,121b) or portions thereof. The body or body portions include a radial section (331), an ulnar section (431) and middle section (231). Furthermore the body has a distal (frontal) finger side (621a, 621b), proximal (back) side, palmar side (721a, 721b) and a thumb side (821a, 821b). The body also has radial and ulnar sides. These portions are shaped to engage the various corresponding regions of the inner surfaces of the hand. These sections and sides forming the body can be divided and used separately for individual applications of the present invention.
