Is that brace good for carpal tunnel support?

It is a nice brace and fits well up the arm but I find it a little too loose on the hand part - I think because it is for either hand and the thumb hole is too large. I am using it for carpal tunnel relief and it does help some!

Yes! I have them for both wrists for carpel tunnel and where them every night. I have worn the set I have for the last few years and I have never, not a single time, had either Velcro strap come loose. I will say the "spoon" on the one I normally where on my left wrist (they're interchangable) has busted through the seam and I need to buy a new one. It could be re-swear, but as I said I've had them a few years so I feel I more than got my money's worth. The tip of the Palm where the spoon is against the seam could definitely be improved be having stronger material/seams. I definitely recommend this. Yes!

I feel it is not good for carpel tunnel syndrome because it is important for it to stay secure overnight while sleeping but it does not. The velcro fastener at the base of the wrist guard is supposed to hold it tightly in place but because it is so small, it looses it's grip and moves around. I would suggest you try another brand.

It is suitable for supporting your wrist. My friend had 2 operations on both her hands for carpet tunnel.She wore these supports at night and during the day while recovering from the operations. I wear them to ease the tingling from the ulna nerve. Hope this answered part of your question.

While I don't have this particular brace, I have many like it. My wrist hurts during swimming (and lots of other things) due to the water pressure against the hand - the stronger the stroke, the more it hurts. A brace helps that and I would expect this one to help as well. The only problem with wearing it in water is if it is in a chlorinated pool. If there is spandex or elastic, then the chlorine will break the elasticity down. It won't happen overnight, but the brace won't last as long. In my experience a lot of use in a pool cuts down the life of the brace by 1/2 to 2/3. But, this is one of the less expensive braces - so cost per use would be less.

It is fairly easy to use the mouse, but not so easy to type. Instead, I would recommend another brace designed to prevent carpal tunnel. There is a stiff piece on the back of the hand, but a "beanbag" like pad at the wrist where it rests on the desk or computer. It is made by Imak and is called SmartGlove. I always use this glove when at the computer.

Yes I use the brace when I play softball and it does not impede my ability to run.The brace provides stability and I found it to be sturdy and not rigid like some other braces that I previously used.

My wrist brace label says it is a Small/Medium for Left Hand. All you need to do is buy the Large/Ex. Large for whichever hand you want and you will be fine. There is a two to three inch strap that hangs down as in the picture to the left, that is totally adjustable with the comfy velcro to just the correct tightness you prefer. These braces really are terrific and they last for years. Use it daily when you exercise at the gym, or buy the longer palm padded version to wear at night for carpal tunnel and this during the day. I wear mine nightly and the numbness and pain is gone.

It is an awesome mouse for wrist and arm pain! I got it for work and use my brace all the time!

Debbie, It is not intended for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It is intended for TFCC tears. A small percentage of customers develop a cyst on the TFCC which causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome but this is rare. Wendy

Either one. If using for carpal tunnel, I'd suggest also doing some of the carpal tunnel relief exercises in the book ISBN-10 1457525771 too.

I dont know...I use it to keep my wrists from folding down - if I dont wear them at night my wrists fold down and I wake up with very sore hands. Dr recommended them to avoid carpal tunnel surgery.

I don't think this is a brace for strength as much as comfort, such as warmth for arthritis. Others may use if for running, but I didn't use it as brace to support a joint for secured mobility.

Yes, if you get the extra paperwork to prove it. It's like other over-the-counter items that you need to document as medically recommended for treatment of a specific condition. Ask for a note on your doctor's letterhead (or a "scrip" written on her/his Rx pad) saying you need a wrist support and with a diagnosis code (for carpal tunnel syndrome or whatever) and then submit it with your receipt for reimbursement. Good luck!

I have carpal tunnel and arthritis. I use mine for travel. That said it does provide a little extra cushioning, but not anymore than my Black Mat

Michael, I'm not a gamer, but I find the wrist braces don't impair the movement of my wrists in any way. Needlework, however, is slower than gaming, so I might be comparing apples and oranges. On the other hand, doing needlework for hours on end with finicky little movements is pretty demanding of the entire wrist musculature and the nerves that pass through the wrist, so perhaps my experience can give you a little guidance. Also, they're worth trying---the price is certainly reasonable enough!

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!

nope. This brace is a game changer. I used it while playing hockey never an issue

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.

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.
