Will this keep my wrist from extension? That is, my PT told me I need a brace that will keep my wrist from bending UP.

Yes it will as there is a metal insert that runs the length of the palm and wrist. Worked great for me.

I dont know...I use it to keep my wrists from folding down - if I dont wear them at night my wrists fold down and I wake up with very sore hands. Dr recommended them to avoid carpal tunnel surgery.

yes it will if it fits you. The image is misleading; I never used mine; couldn't wrap it around the wrist. Strongly recommend a visit to CVS or Walgreens etc

It's intended to keep your wrist straight, but can vary based on how tight you make it. It doesn't bend at all Your wrist can certainly bend inside of it if loose enough. The tighter you make it the straighter your wrist is. I started throwing a hook recently so I keep it a little loose, but still tight enough to support my wrist. But yeah, primarily this wrist guard is meant for someone who throws a straight ball and you'll get much more use out of it that way! I was just too cheap to buy one for a hook ball XD

It will work,but might b a little snug.it does stretch.I guess it depends on how loose or tight u need it.Overall a good brace though.

Yes, I can write with this wrist support. That's actually why I bought it - I have a more inhibiting brace that I wear to workout in & anything else that really strains my wrist, then I wear this most of the day at work when typing and writing.

Mine keeps it pretty straight, but there is a thick piece of aluminum in both the front and back of the wrist that I imagine could be bent to any desired angle.

It should work for someone with small wrists. It's Velcro, so you can pull it tight. I'm not sure if it'll work for you, but it worked for me. I wore it a few times and haven't had to wear it consistently because I feel it fixed the problem. Any time I do feel my wrist starting to hurt, I get the brace out and wear it for a bit and it doesn't hurt any more.

Should be fine, just don't wrap around the wrist with one piece, a few longitudinal before you put a few transverse on

I have a similar condition and I love this brace. It supports but gives good flexibility. Buy one size bigger than what they say though. I will buy again when I need a new one.

I had pulled my adductor muscles. Felt like a groin pull. This brace helped tremendously. Good luck.

Oddly, enough, try cutting a thumb hole and the top off a small sock in a way where the sock is just beyond the outside of the wrist brace so no part of the wrist brace is actually touching your skin. This will allow extra padding on the palm and avoid irritating the skin. This also allows for a methol rub to be applied to the wrist without gunking up the brace. Worked for me

For an 8 diameter wrist I would just go with the wrap around wrist supports. I don't think it will fit your wrists. It is built in the USA though! (Don't think that matters at this point)

Since I do not have a gel wrist support, I simply don't know. Plus what works for one person's "condition" might not work for another.

Leah these gloves are great support if your just using for light work but for the work your talking about I would get yourself a wrist brace or I also use gloves called thermoskin they are arthritis gloves with a strap around the wrist for added support you can find them on amazon I hope this helps you out have a great day

Michael, I'm not a gamer, but I find the wrist braces don't impair the movement of my wrists in any way. Needlework, however, is slower than gaming, so I might be comparing apples and oranges. On the other hand, doing needlework for hours on end with finicky little movements is pretty demanding of the entire wrist musculature and the nerves that pass through the wrist, so perhaps my experience can give you a little guidance. Also, they're worth trying---the price is certainly reasonable enough!

My brace is very tight and use it for gym workout and tai chi...so use it an hour at a time.it is too uncomfortable to wear it over ang period of time.

It's not actually that odd of a response. It would depend on your flexibility. I was able to get the brace on easily on my own, but I'm still fairly limber. If you are stiff or not very flexible you're going to need a little help getting it on. You'll have to decide that on your own. It is a very good brace and I'm not sure I've seen a better one advertised.

The product you are asking about is for your knees. That is why they are so long. You want to look at scheik wrist wraps. They look like this but are much smaller. Like 12"-24" in length. I bought the 12" one because it stretches. Plus, I didn't want it to bulky on my wrist. I pray this helps you in your work out! God Bless U!
