A wrist splint is a brace designed to stabilize the wrist, providing support and relief for various conditions. Let’s delve into the details:

1. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS): One common use for wrist splints is in managing carpal tunnel syndrome. CTS occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed within the carpal tunnel of the wrist. Wearing a wrist splint minimizes pressure on the median nerve, allowing for a period of “relative rest” from movements that exacerbate the condition¹.
2. Arthritis and Tendonitis: Wrist splints can also benefit individuals with arthritis or tendonitis. These conditions often cause pain, inflammation, and limited mobility. A wrist splint provides stability, reduces strain, and supports the affected area during daily activities.
3. Post-Injury Healing: After wrist fractures or tendon injuries, a splint can promote faster healing by immobilizing the wrist. It prevents excessive movement, allowing the injured structures to recover effectively.
4. Prevention and Support: Athletes, weightlifters, and those engaged in physical activities can use wrist splints to prevent injuries. Additionally, people with conditions like carpal tunnel or repetitive strain injuries find relief by using splints during specific tasks.
