The present invention entails a hand-worn device for encircling the base portion of a person's hand and for elevating that hand and the associated fingers with respect to a keyboard. Forming a part of the device, is a pliable and elastic cuff that encircles the base of the hand and which includes a thumb opening through which the thumb of the hand projects. The cuff specifically encircles and wraps around the lower base of the hand and particularly wraps around and covers the heel of the hand. An attachable elevating pad that is relatively small is provided. The attachable elevating pad is designed to attach directly to the cuff in the area adjacent the heel of the hand.
