The Madglove 5–5 Method
Assessment.
Fit. Prescribed.
Follow-up.
A simple, repeatable method for clinicians to find out if a patient is suitable and get them using the glove.
The method
Five steps.
One clear method.
Five steps that give you a clear answer on whether the glove helps the patient, and what to do next.
Assessment
Check four things
- The patient can bend their fingers a little — the glove helps with opening the hand, not closing it
- The patient has difficulty opening or straightening their fingers
- The patient can understand and follow a simple one-step instruction
- There is a clear goal — picking something up, letting go, or using their hand
Wrist Check
Check the wrist before fitting
A stable wrist helps the fingers work better. It also helps you decide which product to use.
Product Selection
Two options. Pick the right one.
The wrist check points you to the right product. Both help with finger extension — the difference is how the mechanism is set up.
A glove with built-in wrist support. The wheel and baseplate sit in a fixed position on the glove. Put it on, adjust it, and it is fitted and adjusted to the patient, then ready for daily use. Best for patients whose wrist drops or needs support.
Product details →Our mechanism fitted onto a brace made by your orthotist or technician. Because the wheel can be moved and repositioned, it can be placed exactly where each patient needs it — on one finger, multiple fingers, or the thumb. Best for patients who need a more tailored setup or whose wrist needs to stay free.

Put it on and adjust
- Put on the selected glove or brace
- Adjust the fit so it is comfortable and in the right position
- Check the wrist support if needed
Functional Test
Try one simple task
Ask the patient to pick something up, let it go, or make a basic hand movement. Watch whether the hand opens more easily during the task.
If nothing changes: adjust once and try again. If it still does not help — stop. Either way, you have a clear answer.
Professional fitting and follow-up
The Madglove Assist and Custom Kit are fitted as part of a full professional service: assessment, patient consultation, individual fitting and adjustment, instruction in use, and follow-up.
From validation to supply
One assessment.
Two routes to device.
You assess once. After that, the path to getting the patient their device is straightforward — whichever product is right for them.
Why it works
Designed for
every stakeholder.
See the effect before deciding
You see how the patient responds during the assessment. A prescription template is included, so the next step is straightforward.
Put the mechanism where it is needed
The Custom Kit attaches to any brace you make. The wheel can be moved and repositioned — so you can target one finger, several fingers, or the thumb depending on the patient.
Use your hand more
You find out in the appointment if it helps. If it does, you leave with a clear next step — and a device that supports you at home, every day.
