The first function of the wrist guard is to provide pressure and reduce swelling; The second is to restrict activity and allow the injured part to recuperate.
It is best not to interfere with the normal functioning of the hand, so if not necessary, most wrist protectors should allow finger movement without being constrained.
The bandage covers part of the palm and forearm, and is a formal wrist guard. In terms of design, some are worn on the wrist like socks; There are also designs that are elastic bands that need to be wrapped around the wrist when used. The latter design is superior because both shape and pressure can meet the individual needs of the user. If the situation is more serious and further fixation of the wrist is needed, as well as providing more stable support, a wrist guard with a metal sheet embedded in it can come in handy. However, due to the large fixed range and the low price, everyone can choose it with the advice of medical personnel.
Elbow and knee protectors are protective devices designed to prevent elbow and knee injuries from falling, and are designed to wear cushions or hard shells. To reduce the weight of equipment, designers have designed elbow and knee pads to be more lightweight, beautiful, convenient, and practical.
Friends who enjoy playing tennis, badminton, and table tennis can experience elbow pain after a game, especially when playing backhand, even if they wear elbow protectors. Experts tell us this is commonly known as “tennis elbow.”. Moreover, this tennis elbow is mainly caused by the fact that at the moment of hitting the ball, the wrist joint is not braked or locked, and the extensor muscle of the forearm is excessively pulled, causing damage to the attachment point. After the elbow joint is protected, the wrist joint is not protected, so there is still an excessive over flexion movement when hitting the ball, which can also aggravate the damage to the elbow joint. So when playing tennis, if you feel elbow pain, it’s best to wear wrist protectors while wearing elbow protectors. And when choosing a wrist guard, everyone must choose one that has no elasticity. If the elasticity is too good, it will not play a protective role. Also, when wearing it, do not tighten it too tightly or loosen it too loosely. If it is too tight, it will affect blood circulation, and if it is too loose, it will not have a protective effect.
