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
