Does it stabilize the knuckle? Need the end of the thumb stable around that joint; most braces seem to stabilize closer to the palm.

For me I have found that it stabilizes my whole thumb from my hand up to the nail. There are straps to stabilize your wrist and palm, but a separate strap over your thumb for adjusted stability.

It holds 2# and yes you can get wrist thumb side down in wax. Its was a great investment and we use it often!

Yes it would work on the knuckle joint just fine but not the base or hand joint. I believe they were designed for fingers but as long as the sizing was correct it would definitely work.

Oddly, enough, try cutting a thumb hole and the top off a small sock in a way where the sock is just beyond the outside of the wrist brace so no part of the wrist brace is actually touching your skin. This will allow extra padding on the palm and avoid irritating the skin. This also allows for a methol rub to be applied to the wrist without gunking up the brace. Worked for me

This does have a little more stability and holds your hands tighter and more stiff. I have small hands and wrists myself and this worked great for me. Also with my experience, You can return it very easily if its not a good fit for you.

You should be fine without thumb use. My daughter in law has rheumatoid arthritis and loves hers. Best Wishes.

Yes, this works for either hand. It does a fantastic job of supporting a strained thumb while it heals!

You are still able to curl your fingers. There is a soft pad in the palm of the hand which would prevent you from making a tight fist.

I have a little arthritis in my right hand and I don't have any trouble. The bar is not hard to adjust but you do need to be able to grip it and twist it to tighten. I really like mine, it works great!

I find that once you tighten the ends, they don't move. The screw controls a wire that tightens and loosens around the grip squeezing the black "finger" and grip to the bar. In my opinion, I woun't want to change it often. On the other hand, it isn't that much longer than what I had before I replaced my old grip.

Hi, If it is the lower joint..I would say yes...If the upper knuckle, not sure..either way, it will give your son relief when he is not playing ball. you don't say how old he is..When I measure my hand I measure for a medium. some on on here said if it is for the lower joint, go a smaller size down. so I did, I wear this brace, If its for the upper joint, then I would get the size he measures for. I really forget I have it on. and do everything I want, except putting hands in water, and almost have done that, since I forgot it was on. it truly is worth the money. At least for me it was..Good luck...

It will keep your hand/wrist straight, however, it's a very tight brace. I would love it if I had super skinny arms/wrist. I use a different brace, different brand night support, but I only need to wear it at night.

Yes it does. On the palm side there's a roughly 1 inch wide fairly strong piece with a nice layer of padding for comfort. The back of the hand side has a roughly 3/4 inch wide strip of thinner, lighter weight bracing as well. Overall the brace has just enough flex to ensure durability in normal use, not enough to move the wrist out of position.

No, it's only designed for the thumb and it's permanently stuck in the thumb position so if you tried to put it on the index, it would be uncomfortable and probably wouldn't wrap around correctly

No, it does not. It is too big, so save your money. You can get it tightened and loosened quite easily with your hands.

I bought it as a gift, so I can't speak from lots of experience but it didn't seem to bad for a fingertip grip when I tried it out. I didn't really know where to put my thumb at first but it's not that much of a change in style for me to complain about it.

The brace wraps around to lift the wrist slightly, pointing the hand upward, which makes the fingers curl. So technically you can still make a fist, but its more like wrapping your fingers around a tennis ball instead of your nails digging into your skin. Pick up a tennis ball and grab it. That would be almost the same as what your hand can do with this brace.
