Can these be used on the thumb? I need something to help a displaced thumb, thank you.

I bought them because I have really bad thumbs. They do help me. But they are not really stiff so if you need to immobilize they won't do it. they do offer healing warmth and gentle support.

No, this can only be used to warm a knuckle... but only IF you can get it over your knuckle

YES, you could put it on your thumb, but they don't offer much support. it would be good padding though and it would keep your thumb warm. It would also provide some pressure but not sure if it would be enough to help swelling if your thumb was recently displaced

They are very flexible so I'm not sure they would provide enough protection. The material is much like a thick stretchy winter glove

Although I didn't use the one I bought for my thumb, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I think it would be difficult to use on fingers--the pads are too big. Maybe if you put one pad on multiple fingers, and the second pad on your palm or wrist. I have trigger finger, too, never tried the TENS device on it. Taping the problem joint helps me. I'm going in for a shot today.

No - only for fingers, BUT they are the best I have ever used. I use a hard plastic thumb pick.

They can hurt but since I'm not doctor I can't say for sure that they will help. Try them and see for yourself if they help. They are good for carpal tunnel.

I use them with KB's. They're not very comfortable to me with KB's, but perhaps my hands are too big for the pair I have. It protects your hands from blisters I suppose since I haven't any blisters when using them with the KB's.

As far as trigger finger and my experience-------------no. I had my finger corrected with outpatient surgery. Very simple procedure---works fine now. I use the gloves for relief of the aching I have in my hands from the over use in performing my job. They worked for me in that way---but not for my trigger finger.

In my experience, the silicone grips did not effect the movement of the controllers thumb sticks at all. They are molded very well to the actual ps4's controllers. I noticed no difference in the thumbs movement after putting them on three of my controllers. I play FPS with these on and they are nothing but a plus.

Whether you stretch your fingers, or this device stretches them, the effect is the same on your hand. The only advantage with this is you don't have to use your other hand to do the work. Also suggest the ex's in the book "Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis".

Yes, I have one on each thumb. Best things I ever bought for my trigger thumbs.

Hi! I cut the bases off and that makes it a lot easier and more comfortable for me. Also, I only ever put it on my thumb because I use them to count money. I am able to spread them and pop my thumb in! Thinking back to when they had bases, I would think you could just roll them up to the tip then roll them on to your finger. Like a condom. (I hope the reference doesn't offend anyone!)

yes, I'd assume the average player could get one on the thumb, index fine but forget about the smaller size it's like a torture device strangling and digging into your finger. If you like fingerpicks you might like these, but I give up... all fingerpicks feel like crutches on my fingers so I'm going to try the glue on fingernails like classical guitarists sometimes resort to. You might have to buy two sets to have a comfortable situation happening if you like them at all. Well I just dug mine out and put them on again... the large one is the only one that feels comfortable to me.

I wouldn't particularly use them for that purpose. They provide great wrist support for lifting, but no support or padding for the hands and striking.

No way! They are extra wide and super stretchy. They will Fit small or large hands. The thumb loop should be firm and the wraps tightened around your wrist to suit your training set. The heavier you go the more support you can have. Just tighten the wrist wrap. Thank you. Please see our Happy Eagle 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee and 1 Year Warranty.

I don't know but I would be dubious. Not sure you would get the kind of shape you would want on your fingernails. I wouldn't use them on mine.

I haven't use them for that but I think you should be able to keep them in place if you use the red thumb straps. I use them for lifting exclusively.

If the pain is related to the movement of the joint then these would not be helpful. If you just need "impact" protection with flexibility...then they rock!!
