4.0 out of 5 stars I've found it to be helpful, September 1, 2004

I've been using the CarpalMate for probably 3 months now. It does help carpal tunnel syndrome; keeping you from bending your wrist in unfavorable positions.

It's probably one of the most comfortable wrist orthotics I've seen. Your fingers are free to use a mouse, track ball or the keyboard without hassle. It's even pretty easy to write with it too.

All in all, the CarpalMate is a fairly inexpensive investment that is worth the money. It's far better than your fingers falling asleep every couple of minutes.

I have been using this product in an office setting and it seems to be helping with my carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). I haven't owned it for a long time, but it seems sturdy enough to last.

The CarpalMate does help to keep my wrist in a healthful position while I type on a keyboard. It does not do so very forcefully, however. It also puts pressure on the inside of my wrist, which is exactly where my CTS causes the most discomfort. I have to wear the CarpalMate loosely, for this reason. It gives me better support when fitted tightly, but then the nerve discomfort starts instantly.

I have a large, heavy brace that extends halfway up my forearm. This is much more effective than the CarpalMate. On the other hand, I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing this monster during the day, in the office. The CarpalMate is small enough that I don't feel like a hospital patient while I wear it.

So, I use the CarpalMate every day. I have not found anything better for daytime use. I have tried to enumerate all of its faults, but I do find it very useful.

4.0 out of 5 stars moderate improvement for sore wrists., October 30, 2006

I highly recommend this for people who may feel in the beginning stages of wrist fatigue or experience soreness after computer usage. I thought I would try a product to help alleviate some general and lasting soreness I was experiencing.

First, it is VERY low profile. most people don't even know I'm wearing it. Secondly, I estimate i use my wrist 75% less now that I wear this product. It's cusp encourages you to let your hand rest in a nutral position and I quickly began instinctively to lift at the elbow while using my mouse and keyboard instead of constantly lifting with my wrist alone.

If you have REAL PAIN.. I would suggest a device that immobilizes... but if you just want to improve your ergonomics... give it a try.
