Will this prevent my wrist from bending up (back towards the top of my forearm)? It seems the braces are designed to prevent the wrist flexing down.

Yes, your wrist will not be able to bend neither down or up. It works both ways due to the way it snuggles tightly and as the part laying on your wrist is not flexible.

I think it could be best described as semi-rigid, maybe allowing you to move your hand up or down about an inch or so, and yet it's comfortable enough to wear all night long.

I had a wrist sprain from a fall. I tried sleeping without the brace on, but I would usually bend my wrist in my sleep and wake up in pain. I did wear it a little looser for sleep, though. The brace needed to be laundered after about 10 days of summer wear. I put it in a mesh bag and washed it in my machine in warm. It air dried quickly. I feel that the brace really helped me be more functional while I waited the six weeks it took for the sprain to heal.

Actually, the brace remains quite stable. I purchased these because I had tried the stretchy type, but soon discovered that they slipped down and, making them even more uncomfortable, they 'rolled' up across the back and even toward the front of the leg. The type you inquire about have a smooth top and bottom, and stabilizing supports on the sides hold the brace in position during activities.

Yup! The metal runs from the bottom (the area covering the wrist), then curves upward to cover about half of the palm, for me, it hits right in the middle of my palm. So, yes, there is metal support for the entire length of the bottom part of the brace. And at the top there is also what feels like a bendable plastic support that also runs the entirety of the brace. It is a great design that offers amazing support, it has really helped me with my wrist pain issues.

Most definitely. Especially if you need support when in wrist extension while isometrically holding the shot put prior to your throw. Moreover, they may also help to prevent any excessive radial/ulnar deviation as well if your struggling with stabilization.

i would think so, its a velcro belt what goes around your wrist. hope it helps. My mom loves this little brace!

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.

I don't think that this would be a problem. To release the ankle braces one just pushes down on the bar that runs up between the shins. If your back is in such bad shape that bending over with straight legs is a problem, then there might be an issue. For me its been very easy to get in and out safely - I use it twice a day, it takes seconds to get in and out.

I have a similar condition and I love this brace. It supports but gives good flexibility. Buy one size bigger than what they say though. I will buy again when I need a new one.

Yes they slip down on my bicep and ride up on my wrist. I have kind of a skinny arm though. So a man with muscles might have better luck keeping it in place. I'd recommend getting the sleeve with the thumb hole. Hope this helps!!

Though not a doctor or physical therapist I can tell you that I would bet you'd be fine. There is no wrist bending with these. As long as you can make a fist you should be fine. I like these a lot because of the fact that it doesn't put undue pressure on the wrists. Hope that helps.

Not really sure Laurie. I have pretty big wrists. I found this brace to be very heavy and hot. I went to a Corflex product which I had used before and found to be very light weight, cooler, but, still did the job. Hope you found this helpfull. Lou

I agree with T.K.; it's great. Mine continued to stretch out for awhile, so I'd recommend marking the brace height and checking it every once in awhile.

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

This slingshot is made for hunting and the tension is high on the bands. It takes a significant effort to draw this back and for many who are not regular archers or used to using this set of upper muscles, I can see how it would be a challenge to you. The wrist brace helps because you also need a strong wrist and the brace relieves the pressure from the wrist joint onto the forearm.

I purchased this for my 2 daughters because they would twist their wrist when releasing the ball (it can lead to medical trouble for your are and elbow area doing so). Once they started using this brace, it was a wodnerful difference in how they release the ball (no more turning the wrist). Hopefully this helps.

It should work for someone with small wrists. It's Velcro, so you can pull it tight. I'm not sure if it'll work for you, but it worked for me. I wore it a few times and haven't had to wear it consistently because I feel it fixed the problem. Any time I do feel my wrist starting to hurt, I get the brace out and wear it for a bit and it doesn't hurt any more.
