Padded gloves are to reduce impact and pressure to your hands and all of your upper body. The medical problems and solutions are many different things.
Could be carpal tunnel like symptoms, arthritis in any of your upper body joints, and other things we I can't think of right now. For me they help arthritis in my hands, wrists, elbows,shoulders, and for me the worst one is, my neck. Everyone can be different. No way way to know what happens to another rider. Way to many variables.
