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
provides for various supports and handles for use by a hand. In particular, the
apparatus includes a generally boot-shaped body or portions thereof. The body or
body portions include a radial section, an ulnar section and middle section. Furthermore
the body has a distal (frontal) finger side, proximal (back) side, palmar side
and a thumb side. The body also has radial and ulnar sides. These portions are
shaped to engage the various corresponding regions of the inner surface of the
hand. These sections and sides forming the body can be divided and used separately
for individual applications of the present invention.
