Measurement

• Snug Fit Measurement:  Devices are sized at a compressed fit.
  • Measuring loose vs. skin tight can result in incorrect measurement.
• Measurement taken as wrist circumference.
• Forearm measurement around the largest part of the muscle group.
• Can be dictated by support used.

Fitting

• Choose best device for injury.
• Style of support given to patient is usually based on occupation.
• Support length should be enough to control stresses at wrist for patient’s level of activity.
• If wrist needs motion limits, a wrist brace with a spoon or stay may be needed.
• If control of the thumb needs limiting, a brace with this function should be considered.
• Fitted with patient’s palm facing up (Supination).
• Laces are fixed within the two velcro straps.  Make lace adjustments first.
• Straps closest to fingers fitted first.
• Straps closest to elbow fitted last.
• Apply the large velcro base tab and then pull across the long/slim velcro tab to appropriate tightness.
• The boney prominence on the wrist (Ulnar Styloid Process) can make it difficult to fit wrist supports because of pressure points.

Post Fitting

• Check fitting through wrist function.
• Make sure brace has been fitted with appropriate strap tightness.
• Brace should not dig into or irritate boney prominence on the wrist (Ulnar Styloid Process).
• Add compression from straps/tabs starting with straps closest to fingers up the brace finishing with strap closest to elbow.
• Decrease compression strap tabs from elbow to fingers.

Disengaging Velcro and securing tabs prior and after wearing will help with future fittings.
