Do you think these would work for someone with the use of only one arm? Currently using velcro closures.

It takes two hands to set up the lock laces into place. Mainly slipping the laces into the lock wheel because it is not difficult but not easy to hold the button down, which opens the wheel, to allow the laces to thread into. After the set up process, fit the shoe how you want it to feel while wearing them and you will never need to tighten, loosen or use two hands to slip your shoes on again.

If someone else initially laced the shoes and adjusted the tightness, then getting your foot in and out with one hand would work well. These would be very difficult to tighten with one hand. But most days there is no need to tighten them.

If they have someone lace them initially to the right size AND if they have they strength to pull the shoe on, I believe they could. It takes a little extra strength to get them on. I am 79 and have no problems but I am fairly strong.

It will be pretty hard. It's possible but not simple. You need to squeeze the retainer and pull the laces tight at the same time.

No, they are not that long. When I wear a short-sleeved top, they go up to where the sleeves end on my arms. Definitely not all the way to the shoulders, so they would not work with a sleeveless shirt/top. Generally mine stay up pretty well, although I find they are slipping more with the more I wear them & the older they get. It will also depend on what size you have, how large (and long) your arms are, and how active you are while wearing them. I have used mine hiking & bike riding and have loved them; they actually make my arms feel cooler and I love the way they protect the top of my hands in addition to my arms. I've recommended them to friends and have already purchased 3 pairs myself. No, they are not that long. When I wear a short-sleeved top, they go up to where the sleeves end on my arms.

I only need one. It's another piece of 'variety' equipment I use from time to time. Hadn't any thought given for using 'two' yet as I write this I can see there are possibilities, such as doing 'shakes' at the same time using both arms separately. You know you got me thinking now, ha! Always be open minded when about training. Always some new & good ideas out there. And I've been training over 50+ years. You might be on to something, that is using two. Mike

I think it probably would, my arm is pretty small and it fit me. However, I must say that after wearing this for a little over a month, it no longer stays on well. The velcro seems to have lost it stick.

Yes, I have smaller arms also, there is a Velcro strap so you can make it as tight as you'd like!

I don't think these would fit that bill, then. They are snug and secure, and have been washed snapped together without coming undone. Perhaps you want a different style closure, suck as a small piece of hook-and-loop tape?

Do you mean by a person with one arm or that you only need to exercise one side? A person with one arm would not be able to use this pulley set as it is designed to have the opposing arm as a counter balance.

I have fairly small hands and tried to use one splint on the 2 fingers you mentioned and it didn't work. It kept popping off as there's not enough velcro to keep it on 2 fingers. They are made for only one finger. I use my splint for my middle finger and after a couple weeks wearing it during the day and at night, I now only have to use it at night. Best little splint, from my personal experience. Hope yours gets better.

Nope! :) PS, they are pretty small for an adult, just so you know. They fit, TIGHTLY. Kid arms work great in them.

My mother's arms are thin therefore there was no problem. Since these gloves are not a compression style glove, I don't see that there would be much of a struggle.

Really well, I'd say as good as a pair of dedicated wrist wraps. They work well for heavy bench presses, and squats (to help stabilize the bar). The straps are long, so they'll fit a variety of wrist sizes.

I am traveling and do not have my weights with me to measure. However, I would say give these a try. The velcro tightens quite nicely to fit snugly around ankles and wrists.

Yes they will. I liked the resistance level on these. It was just enough to feel it the next day but not too heavy during exercise. The only downfall on these for me was that they are not ideal for small hands. They tend to slide a lot since the weight is located on top of your hand. I used these once during my combat class and had to take them off after 30 mins since I was constantly busy holding on to them trying to keep them from sliding to the side. My knuckles were pretty red from the friction.

It takes a bit of practice in order to apply one handed, but it can be done. You basically have to trap one side under your arm for example then pull and wrap around to tighten it down. As you wrap it around each time the rubbery material clings to itself.

I don't know if they're meant to be, but the springy steel of the cuffs can be "opened up" for us with larger arms. I've found they work better a little tight, so as to stay on the arm if you release the handhold to use your hand for something. Very satisfied with mine.

I think one would work if you can screw it to a hard hat. I use the strap and attach it to my arms and legs as well.

Yes, I use them up and down my arms...but only one arm at a time. I haven't mastered hula hooping with both arms at once!
