Does this brace have any stays for rigidity?

yes, it does. please see allison's answer as it accurately reflects my answer as well

Yes it does. On the palm side there's a roughly 1 inch wide fairly strong piece with a nice layer of padding for comfort. The back of the hand side has a roughly 3/4 inch wide strip of thinner, lighter weight bracing as well. Overall the brace has just enough flex to ensure durability in normal use, not enough to move the wrist out of position.

Yes, the fitted brace is on the palm side consistent with most hand & wrist braces I've used in the past. My only complaint with Mueller is the length of the velcro'd straps - too short

To answer your question - yes. This is a fabulous brace. I were them because I snap my wrists when using weight. This keeps my wrist in place with a metal bar that goes from top to bottom - but very comfortable.

Don't know, Mine does not, I tighten it securely when locking feet in seems to put less stress on my ankles. Maybe you have angle problems of some kind because My ankles don't bother me weather tight or loose on feet lock. Sorry

Do you mean "rigid"? It is rigid, not flexible. I love it and am so happy that I purchased this. I have so much more peace of mind, not to mention the reduction of heat on my legs.

I kept mine straight. This is a very good brace. I have heavy thighs and have problems with braces curling but this one does not do that

No. its was fairly easy to install and stays in place. It didn't seem like it would but it is stable.

Yes it does. Remember that if you tighten it to much it will restrict your movement.

It is very helpful but only after wearing a "hard" split for a while. The thumb need to rest in completely. Use this soft brace to begin returning to activities (or for a flair up).

No, 3 hard plastic nibbs keep it from touching the majority of the brace. I have not noticed it wearing but over time three small spots might develop. No worse than buckel rash and it lets me play my basses (I bought 4 do far).

Hello Fidel. My answer is NO. There are just 2 levels of rigidity: 1) NOT LOCKED (standard rigidity), 2) LOCKED (becomes a fixed fork). Level of rigidity is not continuously adjustable.

Kim, I don't believe so because I regularly do my exercises at the gym. Also, I am not dependent on the brace, I wear it only to help me heal whenever I hurt my back.

It has the lower anchor tethers and the top tethers but they are not rigid like isofix. You have to tighten the connected straps.

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.

You will have the full range of motion. This brace is more for side to side support.

I love this brace. I bought it after I sprained my ankle in soccer. My ankle became weak for some reason and kept wanting to roll on me. This brace kept it from doing that and was able to become strong again. I strongly recommend it.

does not have cross brace in the middle. frankly there does need seem to be a need for it.there are legs in the middle that can be seen in the product image, but from extensive use so far the middle has not sagged.

Yes, It locks all the way to 120 deg of flexion. I have this brace and it worked very well.

No, they don't give side to side stabilization like a firm molded heel cup would along with an arch support. Like say what you would find in a Superfeet insert. They just provide extra cushion which puts less pressure on the heel where the plantar fascia connects. I use them with Superfeet inserts.
