Uses
Injury Prevention: Provides support during activities that stress the wrist, such as weightlifting or sports.
Pain Relief: Helps alleviate discomfort from conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis by reducing strain on the wrist.
Rehabilitation: Offers gentle support during recovery from wrist injuries or surgeries.
Features of wrist wraps include:
Elastic Material: Allows for a snug, adjustable fit while maintaining flexibility.
Wrap-Around Design: Usually wraps around the wrist and secures with Velcro or similar closures.
Compression: Helps to reduce swelling and provide support.
Wrist wraps are generally more flexible than splints and allow for more movement, making them suitable for activities where full wrist mobility is still needed.
