2.4 Effects
The form-knitted support provides targeted wrist compression and stabiliza
tion. The support promotes sensorimotor functions and activates muscular
stabilization. The anatomically pre-shaped and individually adaptable volar
plastic splint keeps the hand in an ideal position and limits wrist movement.
The pad in the radial section of the wrist joint enhances the micro-massage
and promotes the resorption of edemas, hematomas, and effusions.
