Abstract:
A device and method for treating hand-involved habits, including smoking, hair-twirling, nose-picking, nail-biting, skin-pulling, and the like, is disclosed. The invention consists of a form-fitting barrier placed on the hand of a patient. The barrier is made of a fabric which is generally form fitting and moves with the hand on which it is placed. The barrier is preferably in the form of a glove wherein the second and third digits are substantially inseparably joined together and webbing connects the third and fourth digits and the fourth and fifth digits. An insert portion of the barrier reduces ease of contact between the connected second and third digits and the thumb.
