5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!, September 15, 2006

This review is from: Futuro Deluxe Wrist Stabilizer, Right Hand, Large-X Large (7.5 to 9.0-Inch) (Health and Beauty)

When I became pregnant over 8 years ago, I developed CTS which is quite common. My OB-GYN told me that it would go away once I gave birth.

Well, it didn't.

I've been suffering from pain, pins/needles, and numbness for years. The ergonomic keyboard is a godsend, but activities that involve holding or grasping (eating, curling my hair, putting on make up) cause a great amount of discomfort.

My chiropractor thought he could help me, and I also scheduled an appointment at my GP's. A gentlemen did both Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyographies on me, and it was discovered that I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my right hand. Surprisingly, a lot of my tingling and pain had to do with tendonitis and 'tennis elbow'! Fortunately, chiropractic massage and the TENS unit (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) have helped my condition *immensely*.

It was recommended that I use a wrist stabilizer when I slept, regardless of the fact that the condition didn't wake me up at night.

I tried several brands at the pharmacy, and the Futuro Deluxe was the BEST. I've been using it for several weeks now, and it's very easy to get on and off. I can definitely see a difference when I get up in the morning! One night, I forgot to put the stabilizer on, and I could feel a difference!

I also use this produce when I'm relaxing around the house, such as when I'm watching TV or DVDs.

There are three different velcroed areas to adjust for comfort, as well as a comfy padded area for below the fingers. Futuro Deluxe Wrist Stabilizer is designed for CTS, so if you suffer from this condition, this is the best product I've seen so far.

Now, ordering this product online may be a bit tricky in terms of sizing. For example, my hands are quite small (some children have larger hands than I do!), and my forearms are small boned, too. However, when trying on the stabilizers at the pharmacy, I was VERY surprised to discover that the Large-X Large fit the best! I would have never guessed this sight unseen.

This review is from: Futuro Deluxe Wrist Stabilizer, Right Hand, Large-X Large (7.5 to 9.0-Inch) (Health and Beauty)

I am a computer geek and digital artist. I started experiencing the onset of CTS after ten years of computer work, finally caught up with me even though I spent time and money on good ergo equipment. Turns out it was the arms of my chair, now removed, that lead to the dmg. This purchase was a necessity and here is what I think of the product:

It helps. I'm still a bit sore after my first couple days with this brace and one other that turned out to be to small. It keeps my wrist from bending in extreme computer sitting positions with my mouse hand and I wear it when I sleep with no issues. So in that area, it is worth it.

It has good ventilation. It can get hot here in cali and I have not had problems yet with sweating or to much heat. Seems to breath nicely.

The strap on both ends is a nice working velcro strap of soft cloth, just what it should be and it works. The strap in the middle is one of those stretchy bands a nurse would wrap your tennis elbow in with velcro on the end of it. The stretchy part is nice in that you can set the desired tightness of the overall portion of the brace, the part that sucks completely is that the velcro adheres to this material so well that your slowly shredding away the fibers of the stretchy band thingy. Now I'm not exactly a small guy, and I have problems tearing this blasted thing away from itself every time I try and take it off. I would like to see an old woman try to remove this band, I'm pretty sure she would hurt more parts of her body then the part she was trying to heal. So to you older ladies, gents, and toothpick arms beware. You can get a small workout from this elastic band and velcro if you wear and take off this brace all day long.

On a side note, you can wear this brace to tight and to loose as any other. It will also cause Decubitus sores if you wear it to long, this goes without saying though as sleeping on a wrinkled pillow can do the same thing.

This review is from: Futuro Deluxe Wrist Stabilizer, Small-Medium, Right Hand,(5.5 to 7.5-Inch) (Health and Beauty)

These braces go half-way up the forearm, so they hold enough of the arm in a straight line to limit wrist motion. The fingers are free, making typing easy, but writing with a pen is more difficult. The Small-Medium size was still too big for me, so I sewed the top strap to shorten it.
