I need a brace that will stop me from clenching my fists at night. Does the brace go high enough on the palm to do so?

No, it doesn't go up high enough to keep you from clenching. It will keep you from curling your wrist.

I was prescribed wrist supports to wear at night to keep my wrists straight. I hadn't realized curling my wrists at night (sleeping like a cat) was giving me wrist pain during the day. No, they won't keep your from clenching your fists if that's what you mean.

I don't think so. I have not tried this but it is not that long, so I believe you need something else. This one is good for daily activities, allows your hand a good deal of flexibility. Futuro carries a brace specially designed for that, though. My step mom has one and she really likes it. Hope this helps.

Your fingers can bend but you cannot make a complete fist. Hope this helps!

Yes, I've used it during my workouts and brace does not feel like it's in the way

If by the top of the hand, you mean palm, then yes, it does cover that part. You can manipulate it a little big, too. Also, Jessica, if you purchase it and it doesn't work for you, amazon has a fantastic return policy. I know that's a pain, but if it's not what you need, then don't keep it. I hope you get relief soon. If there is any thing else I can help you with, let me know. Hand pain is just a pain, isn't it?

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.

Yes, you can grab the velcro with your other fingers between the brace you are wearing and the fingertips. That is if you have full/normal range of motion of your other fingers. Worse comes to worse is that you have to use your mouth to pull the straps.

Sorry..I find the comfort cool to be more supportive than the brace about which you are asking. I wear the longer Mueller thumb/wrist brace with a more stable support for sleeping. Good luck.

I've used the thumb support while sleeping and it does help.. You have to be careful not to tighten the straps too much..Otherwise, you'll cut off circulation, and then your hand becomes abit uncomfortable, and starts to throb.. waking you up.

Band it by far exceeds any brace using an air pillow. The way a brace functions is to rest the tendon attachment at the elbow. Bandit fits better, stays in place and applies the correct amount of pressure....when applied properly, to rest the tendon without having to cut off the circulation to your lower arm.

You are still able to curl your fingers. There is a soft pad in the palm of the hand which would prevent you from making a tight fist.

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.

Worth a try. Our kids use it for martial arts training which includes sparring. They have braces top and bottom.

Yes, it does not go over your braces. It just fits between your back teeth to keep from grinding.

Both - it has a metal splint but has a wonderful cushion in the palm that makes it super comfortable. I use this only at night - I type at work and so it would be very difficult to use this while typing as it keeps your hand fairly immobilized. This is by far the most comfortable brace I've found.

truthfully, if your hands are that bad & in pain if bumped....you need to see an orthopedic hand specialist. I don't think type of brace will help. good luck!

I have no problem closing my fist around the Griffin Grip. It fills in the gaps and makes my fist harder like a roll of quarters.

I have arthritis and carpal tunnel the gloves work fine for me. I DO NOT believe the gloves will stop you from clutching your hands, they may help you from digging your nails in your hands, if that is an issue. It may not hurt to try. Good luck to you to find a solution.

Yes. Your palm lies on a pad inside the support and keeps the fingers straight out to the first finger joint.
