Wheelchair Push Gloves for Quadriplegics and Limited Hand Function

Soft suede gloves with a tacky rubber palm on the heel of the hand. They grip your push rims, steady your transfers and help with everyday tasks, and the strap opens and closes without finger function.

Built for hands that can’t grip

Every part of the glove is placed where quad hands need help most.

Push with less effort

The rubber palm sits on the heel of your hand, right where you press the rim, so more of each push reaches your wheels and your palms stay protected when you brake.

Transfer with confidence

The tacky palm holds steady on a slide board, armrest or bed rail, so your hands don’t slip mid-transfer.

Grip everyday things

Made by people who use them

I quickly came to realize that these gloves could give me something my hands no longer could: grip.
