Gloves and harnesses for allowing patients to do rehabilitation and reeducation exercises. A first version allows a therapist to exercise a second persons hand(s) including their fingers, wrists, and arms by overlying the palm(s) of the therapists hand(s) over the dorsum back of the patients hand(s). The therapist wears a glove(s) having fasteners extending from the sides of the pinkie, fourth finger, middle finger, index finger and thumb, and a wrist portion, for wrapping about the corresponding fingers and wrist of the patients hand(s). The fasteners can include hook and loop straps, and self adhesive straps, and the like. A second version is a grasp assistance glove used by a single person where a patient wears a glove(s) having fastener straps extending outward from the tips of the pinkie, fourth finger, middle finger, index finger, and thumb portions, and a fastener attached to the palm portion of the glove. An object such as a bar is grasped by the patients gloved hand by having the straps of the fingers attached to the palm fasteners, with the fasteners being similar to those of the first version. A third version has a safety harness that can be used with or without the hand over hand glove system.
