Following surgery, a post-operative thumb splint or cast will be needed to support the thumb for a period, along with physical therapy to regain the thumb’s full range of motion. The sewn-in plastic stay is covered in soft, padded foam for ultimate user comfort during extended wear. It holds your limp wrist up in extension (dorsiflexion), allowing the radial nerve to heal in a shortened position. Without the stay, you would continue experiencing limp wrist or “drop wrist.” In a dropped wrist position, your radial nerve is being stretched, which hinders recovery and healing. The thumb CMC splint supports the thumb, giving inflammation a chance to subside. The sizing of the thumb brace for arthritis is also highly adjustable at both the wrist and the thumb. This thumb stabilizer can also help after one has suffered a break to the thumb or an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) lesion (AKA, skiers’ thumb). Skier’s Thumb Splint A fracture can occur anywhere on the thumb, but breaks to the joint region, especially in the wrist vicinity, are the most problematic type in terms of thumb fracture treatment. Symptoms of a break to the thumb include pain, immobility, cold or numbness, deformity, and swelling.If you’re experiencing any symptoms related to radial nerve palsy, such as carpal tunnel pain, wrist pain, or a limp wrist, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately. Your doctor will evaluate your symptoms and determine if you need a wrist splint or have an underlying condition that needs treatment. One size fits most: The BraceAbility radial nerve palsy splint is available in one adjustable unisex and universal design for the right or left hand; accommodates wrist circumferences up to 8.5 inches; measure before purchasing the wrist drop splint Another thumb condition characterized by problems with the thumb tendons that is thought to be linked with chronic overuse or repetitive motions of either the wrist or hand is de Quervain’s syndrome. This form of tendonitis is also known as mother’s or mommy’s thumb because it often affects new parents, especially women, who lift their child frequently throughout the day. This causes pain and swelling around the base of the thumb that can radiate into the forearm or thumb. This can make it tough to grip anything using the thumb. Dynamic extension splinting can be challenging and often frustrating, but over time it becomes easier and easier. To feel more comfortable

One example is Bort’s de Quervain's tenosynovitis brace. Rest is an important element of de Quervain syndrome treatment, and this moldable thumb spica splint makes doing so easy. Padded straps and extensive perforation make this a cool and comfortable thumb brace. Following the steps of RICE and taking over-the-counter pain relievers can also be helpful toward torn thumb ligament treatment. The Water Spout: Hold your arm out straight from your body, parallel to the floor. Then hold an empty cup in the outstretched hand and turn it upside down as if pouring out water.Radial nerve palsy can be caused by physical trauma (such as humeral fractures, dislocations, or deep cuts on your wrist or arm), awkward body positions for long periods of time (such as while working or sleeping), bruises that put pressure on the radial nerve, growths such as tumors or cysts, infection or inflammation, exposure to toxins, a tight watch squeezing your wrist, or crutches pressing under your arm. Rubber Band Stretch: Take a rubber band and place it around all five fingers on one hand. Stretch your fingers out as wide as you can, using the rubber band as resistance, then relax them again. Do three sets of 25 repetitions on both hands. Add extra rubber bands to create extra resistance as you build up strength in your wrist and fingers.

Before following these steps you will need to decide where you will place the outriggers. Typically they will be placed at a 90 degree angle from the sling. Physical Therapy: Your physician or physical therapist may prescribe radial nerve exercises to strengthen your muscles and increase your range of motion. Radial neuropathy or radial nerve palsy is a condition that affects the movement and sensation in your arm and hand, as well as the extension of your elbow, wrist, and fingers.Growth plate fracture: Also called a physeal fracture. The break occurs at or across the growth plate. Usually, these fractures affect the growth plate near the wrist on the radius. Resting the wrist and hand by wearing a carpal tunnel splint at night and possibly during the day is important to truly ensure one is resting these tissues so healing can occur. Bort’s soft hand splint with finger support is one great option for doing so, as it immobilizes the fingers and limits wrist movement. The finger support prevents them from curling up at night. Finger and Thumb Stabilizer Braces for Sprains and Fractures The bulk of competitor products for radial neuropathy cost hundreds of dollars. With our splint, you will receive medical-grade support at a fraction of the price.
