Odd looking Xtensor rehab glove makes some big promises
Technology is pretty hard on our hands, and only getting more so: typing on a keyboard, twisting your fingers around a video game controller, thumbing your cell phone. With all that strain on your digits, you may be wondering if there's any sort of gadgetry out there that promises relief.
The Xtensor looks a little more like a torture device than anything else, but, by strapping it to your hand and performing a few simple exercises, it supposedly not only strengthens your hand, but the core muscles of your arm as well. It says it'll ease arthritis pains, soothe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome sufferers, ease sporty types and keep video gamer players in top shape.
The Xtensor is available for only $40, so if you've tried everything and don't know what else to do, maybe it'd be worth a shot.
