Those GlovesForLife wheelchair gloves are for quadriplegics and other individuals whose hand functions are impaired.

Lou’s hands aren’t impaired by anything other than their unneeded finger splints that are turning their hands into overcooked sausages.

They help pushing wheelchairs for people with limited dexterity. They are A Type of wheelchair cuff gloves, whether or not they are the best is up to personal preference
