Is this a night time brace or can it be used on a daily basis? & Can you work out with this on?

Your wrist is completely immobile. I don't see it as a daily wrist brace but I suppose it can be used depending on your daily activities. Remember it is a splint. Not exactly a brace.

I wear the brace at night and on a daily basis. There isn't much to this brace, so I personally would not recommend it for use during a workout, although i suppose that very much depends on the kind of workout you wish to do. The metal bar that the brace is made up of would make it very difficult to grasp handles or weights.

I have a set.It can be used for both but it's not good for driving. If you need to drive your better off taking them off temporarily or just use a compression brace for driving.

I've never used it while sleeping so I'm not sure about that. It's comfortable enough that you can use it on a daily basis. I can imagine you can work out with it even though I've never done that. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

It's awkward, but you can use it if you need it. If you have big forearms or hands, it might be a bad idea though.

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.

Same, I workout in the evening and the energy I get from it keeps me up at night without a crash, so using it in the a.m. would be best.

More or less. I wear two braces, I put them both on each night. You can get used to it. The alternative is not having any brace at all, and suffering pain.

The brace is relatively comfortable. Depending on how you position it, it may dig into your abdomen a bit, but that would be true of any brace. I do like the double closure system; it feels like I'm getting more support this way.It looks washable, but to be honest, I haven't tried putting it in the laundry. I wear it about 6-8 hours/day, and not when I'm doing anything too active that would make me sweat into it.

The pkg doesn't say if it's for day or night....so I was using it as both. I think Their Day & Night Creams with hyaluronic acid works better than this.

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.

Yes. My wife loves it. She says it feels more like a support wrap than a brace.

You put the main part if the brace on and adjust with Velcro. Then there is another set of elastic bands that you pull over this for more support and it also attaches with Velcro. It provides great support that you can adjust to your comfort.

Yes that's what I use it for...I have had surgery and this brace helps support durng high activity times...

They are not a brace, just support. I'd be concerned if you do a lot of starting and stopping, pivoting and quick movements, that they may not be as strong as you think. I wear them for off road running and sparring in TKD and they have done well.

The brace provides good support. However, if you lift heavy objects, it is important to watch your posture and lifting habits to avoid any injuries.

Knee brace is great for strenuous activities ... gym, skiing, etc. It does restrict some knee movement but not too much of a problem. My opinion ... for runners, this brace will be a burden. It will throw the runner off balance for one; secondly, the brace will have the nasty habit of sliding down from the knee. I know the second problem firshand for it affected my skiing. The runners up and down action will definitely shift the brace requiring frequent adjustments upward. You can always tighten the velcro straps super tight but that will restrict blood flow and eventually cramping. Only my opinion! And yes, as you said, it is rock solid and its flexibility is somewhat restrictive.

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.

Mine has not stretched out of shape, in spite of regular wear. The side support is probably the most helpful part of the design and, I think that stretching/loosening would defeat the purpose and design of the stabilizers. And it would not be at all helpful if the brace is too sight. Ask your doctor for advice. If you are purchasing this in a pharmacy, ask the pharmacist or pharmacy tech for assistance. And ask if the item can be exchanged it it's too snug, or tto loose.

I don't think you would have any problems wearing all night. The support does not seem to cause excessive warmth to my elbow, just enough to keep my elbow warmed up during activity and during slight pauses between turns.

I think so. My posture really improved from wearing the magnetic brace. I recently had a bone density scan and my test was much better than last year. The doctor was impressed and told me to keep doing whatever I was doing because it was working. I only wear the brace at night while I'm sleeping.
