Product Information

If you are experiencing pain or discomfort after breaking your humerus bone, sleeping with your arm in an unusual position, or any sort of unusual and excessive pressure to your arm, it is likely that you have a radial nerve injury. The radial nerve is the most frequently injured of the three major peripheral nerves in the upper extremity. Splinting to maintain joint motion and functional use of the hand is usually required until nerve recovery occurs or tendon transfer procedures are performed. A review of the literature reveals numerous splint designs for radial palsy. The biomechanics of "harnessing" the hand with radial nerve palsy are reviewed and splint designs are analyzed to determine appropriate use.

Radial nerve palsy may be caused by physical trauma, such as humeral fractures, dislocations, or deep cuts on your wrist or arm. In addition, growths such as tumors or cysts, infections or inflammations, exposure to toxins, or even awkward sleeping positions can also lead to radial nerve injury. Your child may not understand that when healing during an injury, they aren’t able to do as many of the activities they were used to when they were healthy. It’s a good idea to create fun and new ways your child can play safely while in a brace, that way they don’t feel as though they are missing out. Consider, for instance, the Bort SellaDur Thumb Arthritis Treatment that supports the thumb and limits irritating motion. The brace itself is far from irritating; it features perforated holes for breathability as well a raised edge at the thumb-forefinger to avoid unnecessary pressure.

The bulk of competitor products for radial neuropathy cost hundreds of dollars. With our splint, you will receive medical-grade support at a fraction of the price. Radial nerve injury is the most common cause of radial nerve palsy. This type of injury can occur due to a variety of reasons such as fractures in the humerus bone (upper arm bone), dislocation of the elbow joint, or even sleeping with your arm over your head for extended periods. In addition, it may lead to wrist pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, limp wrist, and carpal tunnel pain. Our splint is designed to fit both the right and left hand. The universal design allows men and women to wear the limp wrist splint with ease and convenience. Carpal tunnel syndrome is most common in those who perform repetitive movements of the wrist and hand. Using a keyboard for hours at a time is perhaps one of the most common causes of carpal tunnel syndrome, though other causes may include playing certain sports, driving, sewing, using hand tools, painting, and writing, among others.

Following the injury, the thumb will likely swell and bruise in addition to causing pain with movement. Instability and a weakness of grip may also be symptoms of a thumb sprain.
