There is described an apparatus for installation on a hand having a thumb andopposable fingers, both having joints and phalanges. The apparatus comprisesbiasing devices. Each one of the biasing devices substantially has an inversedVshape formed by a hinge, a distal end and a proximal end. The biasing devicesare connected together to form the apparatus. The hinges of the biasingdevicesare spatially distributed so that each hinge covers a corresponding one of thejoints and biases the distal end and proximal end toward each other. Theapparatus keeps the hand in a substantially closed position to assist ingrippingobjects.
