I am a professional writer with more than 40 books to my credit . A few years ago, I was on the brink of giving up my writing career because of hand and wrist pain. Nothing I tried helped--until I discovered SmartGlove®, which eased my pain and saved my career. I've now published four 'SmartGlove books', with 8 more in the works. Thank you, IMAK!

I work in the information-technology field, am an avid computer game player, and play guitar in a band. I have experienced wrist pain for several years due to the many hours a day spent using a keyboard and mouse, and have never found any sort of wrist rest or brace that provided relief without hindering my motion. I purchased a SmartGlove®, hoping that it would be an improvement, and I'm pleased to say that using it has almost totally eliminated the day-to-day pain I was dealing with. It is much more practical for my purposes than having multiple wrist rests in my work area, and allows a much greater range of motion than any braces I have tried.

I tried several types of splints and yours was the best. Comfortable and effective.

One of the most important features of the SmartGlove®, at least for me, was the total comfort while working with it on, and rapid relief it gave me from the pain associated with CTS.

SmartGlove® provides more support for my hand and keeps my wrist from moving too fast and stretching the wrong way.
Maria Hurtado, Billing Clerk
My wrist felt relaxed after seven hours of typing.
Blanca O'Conner, Executive Secretary
The swelling on my wrist went down in just one day.
Maria Ramirez, Medical Data Entry
SmartGlove® helps with positioning of my hands when typing, eliminating hyper/hypo extension.
Kathy Deering, Admission Secretary
SmartGlove® felt better than the regular splint that I used before, this is more comfortable.

I injured my thumb by typing too much on my laptop and was in great pain. SmartGlove® allowed me to work on my computer and significantly reduced my pain.

I can't believe how much this glove has done in relieving my carpal tunnel symptoms. I bought it in an attempt to forestall surgery, and it not only has stopped the progression of my symptoms, it has relieved 90 percent of them. The difference between working with and without it is amazing. I'm ordering a second one for my other wrist, and can honestly recommend it for anyone suffering from wrist pain or fatigue from working on a computer.

I really like the way the Smart Glove supports my thumb while working. I have tried many other products and most have a splint in them that causes me a great deal of pain along my wrist when they a worn for very long. I can wear the Smart Glove all day because there is no splint to cause pain. The material holds up well and is easy clean.
Socorro Marcoux
Very Comfortable! I used to wake up 2-3 times a night with hand numbness, however as soon as I started wearing the SmartGlovePM™ the problem went away.
Catharine Troynek, Auroa, CA
I have had pain in my wrists for quite some time and I have tried a variety of remedies, including other splints, with little or no improvement. Now, wearing your comfortable splint, I am able to rest my wrist around the house and when I sleep at night. My husband is glad I got the SmartGlovePM™ as now he too can enjoy a good nights sleep again.
Rosemary Henrich, San Diego, CA
It's great! The minute I put my SmartGlovePM™ on I already feel better.
Elena Bratton, San Diego, CA
As an engineer who works in research and development, I was impressed by the innovation, simplicity, comfort, and effectiveness of your design -- nice work.
Michele Murdoch, Ojai, CA
Very comfortable, better than the other splint I have tried.
Darlene Machela, Trenton, NJ
I wear the SmartGlovePM™ at least six nights a week and on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being excellent) I rate the SmartGlovePM™ a 5.
Cassie Lee Bichy, Baltimore, MD (Journal of Court Reporting)
Since using the SmartGlovePM™ I have not awakened with wrist pain or numbness.
Richard Studdard, Jamul, CA
Having had severe elbow pain myself for some time, I tried the IMAK Elbow PM™, and within a month the pain subsided. Terrific product!
Peter Blumenthal, MD, Maplewood, NJ
I have been having nagging elbow pain for the last 3 years making work at the keyboard, especially the mouse, very difficult. I was lucky to participate in the IMAK test trial for the new Elbow PM™. After just one night of wearing the support, my elbow started to feel better. Now, that I have been using the warm and soothing support for over a month my elbow pain and stiffness are virtually gone.
Don Koenig, Product Design Engineer
I was looking for something to support my wrist while using the mouse. I bought the IMAK ergoBeads™ mouse support and am delighted with the results. After working a whole weekend on a charitable newsletter, I usually have pain in my wrist - using the ergoBeads I had no pain at all. I think that playing with it while waiting for downloads from the internet also helped keep me pain free. Great products!
Marcy Best, Occup. Health Nurse Administrator, U.S. Postal Service
Great product. I just got them 3 days ago and my wrists feel a million times better. I type continuously (I telecommute to a law firm near Chicago from San Diego, Ca)...they are a life saver. I have already told several people about them." Thanks, MJP, ESQ
Michael Pennington, San Diego, CA
Not only do they support your wrists as well as a standard wrist rest (which is impractical to use with a laptop), but they also reduce the "slow burn" you get from extended use of the warm metal palm rest area below the keyboard on a MBP PLUS keep your forearms from pressing against the relatively sharp edge of the 'Book (which at least on my 17" is an issue--I'd end up with big red creases on my forearms after a few hours).

Using my mouse for 5 minutes, used to create aches and pains in my wrist, and I would constantly have to grab my wrist and try to massage the pain away. One day I saw your product, Wrist Cushion For Mouse, in my town's local Wal-Mart store, and I have to admit I was VERY skeptical about it solving my wrist problem. I tried in the store, and from that moment after I was hooked!! Long story short, I've been pain free in my wrist for a little over 3 1/2 months now! Thanks for this great product!!
Kevin Hall
I work in a job where I use my hands constantly. Needless to say carpal tunnel is a common problem with co-workers. When I began to feel the beginning signs I started looking around for products that would help and slow down the progression. Your Wrist Cushion For Mouse works wonders! Before using your product I could only sit at the computer for 1/2 before my wrist began to ache, now I can sit as long as I wish with no discomfort! Thank you so much for such a wonderful product!
Kristy Maez, Nelson, WI
It's a great product! I'm on a detail at the Elko Expanded Dispatch Center (I'm from Puerto Rico) and everyone has one in their desks. We love it! We work helping fight the wild fires and when we are stressed out it's the first thing we grab...and it really works!!! A few minutes later and the stress is gone. I'm looking forward to take some of these to Puerto Rico. Thanks!

As an ergonomic specialist, I happened upon this product in a Staples store. Now I purchase the mouse wrist rest online as well as the one for the keyboard for all our new employees, and this is the manufacturer that I always recommend when I am doing assessments for clients. It is softer than the gel filled wrist rests and still delivers excellent support.
Cathy
After having tried several different types of wrist rests over the years I have finally found one that I LOVE. If it was any more comfortable, I'd marry it.

These gloves are made of thin, light weight cotton/lycra knit fabric, not spandex like the tighter compression gloves. The seams are well placed. I feel that they run a bit large. I would rate the 'compression' as mild... moderate if I move down a size. I should wear the large but they are clearly too big all around. I prefer the medium size for most activities and wear the small ones when doing finger-intense activities like knitting. They are working well with my moderate discomforts. My husband has taken the large pair for doing work in his wood shop. I didn't think he'd give them a try but once he had them on he was hooked. They are thin so if cold is an issue, plan on a second pair of regular gloves over these.
Cynthia, Indianapolis, IN
Oh yes!!! I just received my support cushion today and all that I can say is that 'aahhhhh!' sitting at the computer is now very comfortable. The cushion saves me from buying expensive ergo chairs.
