I'm Amazed by this product as the hospital gave me a splint which was very uncomfortable and so I found this product which you can adjust it actually gives a certain amount of Mobility back it allows for healing and like others say you can remove it if it comes uncomfortable. This is comfortable enough that I sleep with it On Loosely at night and it helps so much to the point where I can actually grab the clutch on my motorcycle but due to the radial nerve palsy I can't use the blinkers but that's a huge Improvement from not even being able to hold on to anything at all and being completely limp Just like others stated there was a small issue with the top brace but the seller is great and what you let them know they will send out a replacement free of charge otherwise I highly recommend this brace to anybody with radial nerve palsy it has been a huge help to my recovery I'm still recovering but I could see a large difference in this product that's $100 verse the hospital splint that they want $1,633.50 for... yes that is not a joke sadly. Five stars because of the product the quality and the customer service Read more

PROS: - If you have radial nerve palsy causing wrist drop, you absolutely cannot use your fingers. My full time job requires me to sit a computer and before this brace, I could not type or use a mouse. This brace does make that possible and I can actually use the mouse and keyboard enough to work. - The finger lift is genius and unlike a traditional brace, helps keep the whole hand straight - The finger lifts are made of an elastic cord so it can actually help do finger lift exercises to promote healing (since with RNP you cannot lift your fingers without assistance) CONS: - The wrapped metal brace that sits on top of the wrist is VERY uncomfortable. It curves inward and literally digs/pushes into the top of the wrist and actually hurts. I tried putting a piece of fabric to help cushion it, but doesn't really help - While the finger lifts are genius, your fingers hang on the cords in a way that eventually cause your fingers to fall asleep Overall, if you have RNP have wrist drop and are unable to lift your fingers- I would absolutely recommend you purchase this-ESPECIALLY if your job requires you to type/use a mouse. It really changed that for me- so that really does deliver as advertised. What isn't entirely true is the claim of comfort. You absolutely cannot wear this all day and night as the top of the brace actually starts hurting your wrist after a short time. My recommendation would be to only wear it when you need to work (or if you want to exercise your fingers) and for no more than 2 hours at a time-- take it off, give your hand a rest and stretch for a while, then put it back on.

I purchased this splint when I came down with drop wrist. It arrived with a page of instructions, explained by pictures. If you follow the steps you will be able to get the splint on. In the beginning, it was difficult to do it alone. I had to take it slow and easy until I got the hang of it. The finger loops dig into your fingers, and after awhile, your fingers get so sore that you have to take the brace off. I bought some cotton balls, and broke them up placing them in the finger loops to cushion the strings and it made it more comfortable. I couldn't wear the brace at night because the velcro strap that holds the strings together always comes off, and the back of the brace presses into the back of my hand causing discomfort. I wore the brace for eight hours a day, doing drop wrist exercises learned on you tube (I couldn't get any appointments to see a doctor) and within two months I got full movement of my fingers back. What was encouraging was that after a few weeks, and wearing the brace, I was able to slowly type on a computer keyboard. I believe the brace helped, but due to the terrible discomfort caused by this brace to my fingers and to the top of my hand, I am giving this only one star. Read more
These are nice to get some finger movement aspect if that is what you are looking for, but the elastics dig into your fingers and start to hurt if you wear them too long Read more

I have drop wrist palsy and purchased this to provide support during my recovery. While it has some good features, there are also areas where it falls short. The design of the wrist splint is bulky and uncomfortable. The materials used feel cheap and irritate the skin, especially during extended wear. Despite multiple adjustments, I couldn’t get the splint to fit snugly without either being too tight, cutting off circulation, or too loose, failing to provide adequate support. I still have no idea what the finger attachments are supposed to do. They’re not strong enough to do anything other than be irritating; they offer no support.. The constant readjustment is frustrating and counterproductive. Rather than improving my condition, wearing this wrist splint seemed to aggravate my pain. The inadequate support and poor fit caused additional strain on my wrist, and I noticed more swelling and discomfort after using it. Given the poor quality and lack of effectiveness, this wrist splint is extremely overpriced. There are better options available at similar or even lower price points that offer superior support.
