Hand or wrist splint

[SunriseLegend]

My husband has CBD and it is quite late stage now. His hands grip tightly and are hurting him. He has botox every three months but is not due another dose any time soon. I do physio exercises with him every day multiple times but these are proving less and less efective and he is asking me to do the exercises more and more often. Does anyone have experience of using a hand or wrist splint or support of any kind? One carer has suggested one that I could buy from Amazon but I would like to know if anyone has used one and if so whether they were any use. I think this might have been discussed before and apologies if it has but would be grateful to hear any experiences or suggestions. Thanks

dad has had one for over a year now … it’s helped a lot in terms of his own comfort, his nails were digging into his palm and also it wasn’t really possible to cut his nails without.

I would say it’s certainly worth trying.

The Botox was very effective initially however becoming less so as his condition worsens.

Thanks for this. Where did you buy it from please and do you have details so I can get the right one?

Hi, I’m still trying to find out which one however mum told me she purchased it on Amazon. The neurological centre was supposed to make one for him but it never turned up.

I’m a PSP sufferer and had a stroke approximately five years before my diagnosis. The stroke left me right sided paralysed. I have Botox approx every three months too - in fact I’ve recently had some - just waiting for it to kick in. Anyway, I use a hand splint which was given to me by the NHS. However, they are commercially available too. Try this link - this is the same as mine. Hope this helps
