Would these be supportive for artists (especially digital artists) or should I invest in a brace for the wrist only?

they don't provide support; you would definitely want a brace. They keep the hands warm and less swelling.

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

These gloves gently squeeze but don't restrict movement like a wrist brace does. You might ask your doc or PT if these gloves would benefit you in other ways, ie helping to keep fingers warm.

Leah, i don't think these gloves would help you. i bought them so my brother could continue to have movement and warmth at the same time. i would probably go for a brace. hope that helps.

I have arthritis in my hands and wear them every night. They provide gentle support for the fingers, hand and about two inches up the wrist. I can use them typing on the computer or using my smartphone. I would give them a try before you go to a brace unless you have very bad carpal tunnel. Good luck.

It depends on what you are trying to achieve with it. It does not offer support to the wrist joint itself but does keep you from bending your wrist down very far. I am not sure if that would interfere with your game or help it.

Yes, perfect for small adult hands. It is more of a soothing support than a brace type support. It is good for minor/slight aching in wrist or thumb.

I do not see it affecting your throwing one bit. If anything would probably help causebitbdoes govebsome added support. But without limiting your hand like those wrist braces you get from the doctor.... I'm sure you can use these and still throw a ball fine. I see in baseball done pitchers have a similar thing on their wrists.

I purchased this for use with the left hand. It fits more ergonomically with the right hand because of the contoured thumb cutout. If you have left wrist tendonitis up the thumb-wrist vertical, this brace will be uncomfortable & causes more pain...unless you strap the Velcro around all 5 fingers, immobilizing your thumb.

I would say yes, but the chance of them popping up when you bend your wrist would be fairly often. I did tuck them into a shirt with long sleeves, which worked well.

I can, but I suppose everyone is different. There is nothing I can think of that I can't do while wearing this brace, it just stabilizes my wrist.

Unless you have some birth defect, or are 600# it will be no problem. I am almost certain I have bigger wrists then you and they just barely need to stretch, and I forgot about it after about ten minutes

It works for either foot. There is no specific one for left or right, unlike a wrist brace.

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

Not really sure Laurie. I have pretty big wrists. I found this brace to be very heavy and hot. I went to a Corflex product which I had used before and found to be very light weight, cooler, but, still did the job. Hope you found this helpfull. Lou

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.

I'm not a gamer but, I do alot of demanding work with my hands. I have no problems wearing the brace during work or play. I actually don't need to wear it constantly because it has helped me that much!

Really just depends on personal preference. The ones I bought are just for wrist support. If you prefer to have the support and the dowel then go with those ones, they will help somewhat with grip and hand protection against calusus.

Not being a doctor, I can't say for sure. However, I'd think not; that you'd need an articulated brace with hinged metal supports. This brace is equipped with metal springs that permit a full range of motion while providing compression and stabilization.I'd also advise being seen by a qualified physician rather than simply relying on external support for an unstable joint. Whatever the underlying problem, the condition may worsen if not correctly and completely treated.Best wishes.

It helps by supporting the wrist and preventing the wrist from bending forward. It does allow movement of the fingers so I use it for work. It is not for sleeping though. I use a full size wrist brace for sleeping which is more supportive.

Provides a nice fit....but if you need wrist support from a previous injury or condition , I would suggest you add wrist straps along with the gloves, like I do.
