The Glove Kit
At Kinnections, we provide “The Glove” as an easy-to-assemble kit, not pre-assembled gloves. This approach gives you the flexibility to build a glove that fits your needs, right at home—no custom fitting or clinic visit required. Because no two people with Parkinson’s are the same, our glove is designed to be fully customizable: every part can be easily swapped, adjusted, or upgraded. Whether you’re looking to fine-tune comfort, optimize performance, or modify the patterns of vibrations themselves, our kit adapts to your needs. This modular, DIY format also reflects our mission to make open-source, affordable therapy accessible to all. Assembly is simple, tool-free, and beginner-friendly—if you can plug in a wire, you can build the glove.

Assembling your Kit is simple and intuitive. With our detailed written instructions and step-by-step video guide, you can put your glove together in minutes—no tools, soldering, or technical experience needed. The design is fully modular and customizable, allowing you to adjust fit and parameters as needed.

3. Treat
Once assembled, your glove is ready to use. The recommended usage is two hours, twice a day. The gentle vibrations help improve motor symptoms by targeting the nervous system through the hands. With consistent use, users have reported benefits like improved walking, reduced tremors, better sleep, and enhanced coordination. Just wear it, turn it on, and let the therapy begin. It’s designed to fit seamlessly into daily routine.
