Wearing this wrist support may be recommended if you have suffered major ligament damage or you are unsure how your wrist will hold up when you get back into sport (basketball, football, handball, tennis, running, trail running, gymnastics, judo) after a sprain. It can also be used if you are suffering from tendinitis. Its one-way buckles make it easy to put on, while its padded material and stiffeners are shaped to fit your wrist to make it more comfortable.
