Hand braces are supportive devices designed to stabilize and protect the wrist and hand. They are commonly used for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, or after injuries to aid in recovery. Hand braces can help reduce pain, limit movement, and promote healing by providing the necessary support. These braces come in various styles, including splints and wraps, and can be made from materials like fabric, plastic, or metal. They are often adjustable to ensure a snug fit and can be worn during daily activities or while sleeping, depending on the individual's needs and the severity of their condition.
