Hand and wrist supports are orthopedic devices designed to stabilize joints, limit excessive motion, and reduce mechanical stress on tendons, ligaments, and surrounding soft tissues. By controlling flexion, extension, and rotational forces, they promote structured support while preserving functional hand activity during recovery. These supports are commonly used for sprains, tendon strain, carpal tunnel syndrome, post-traumatic care, and post-operative rehabilitation, with models ranging from elastic compression braces to rigid splinted designs depending on the required level of immobilization.
