Whether your riding off-road motorcycles, sport motorcycles or cruiser
motorcycles the answer stays the same, gloves are really important! Gloves
protect your knuckles in case of a fall and also keeps your hands warm. Long
rides in cold nights can really do damage to your hands and knuckles, without
the right gloves your hands can become numb and in some cases cause Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome. Along with the freeze is vibration, some riders do not have the
right padding to prevent that annoying vibration from the throttle and
handlebars.
A great way to fix these problems is to have the right gloves. Many riders
purchase a non-padded standard glove that can be bought at any retail store,
what they don't know is that paying a little extra for the right glove can
reduce the cause of Carpul Tunnel Syndrome. Most motorcycle gloves that have a
padding system isolates the Median nerve that causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) begins with
numbness and tingling in the hand and may involve aching in the hand, forearm or
shoulder. It is a very common condition that is caused by a pinched nerve in the
palm of the hand. The symptoms may occur intermittently during the daytime and
sometimes occur at night and awaken one from sleep. It is not uncommon for the
sufferer to think that the hands have "poor circulation" and shake the hands in
an attempt to "restore circulation".
How can i prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is treated by
immobilizing the wrist in a splint to minimize or prevent pressure to the
nerves. The best advise for motorcycle riders is to wear the right gloves! Some
