MUELLER Sports Medicine Adjust-to-Fit Thumb Stabilizer, Spica Splint, Thumb Pain Relief Brace for Men and Women, Ideal for De Quervain's Tenosynovitis, Arthritis, Sprains, Fits Right or Left

I have been using his off and on for about a month. I have issues with arthritis in my thumb. Undoubtably this is the result from being in a wheelchair for 20+ years and a consequence of constantly grabbing my hand rim to move myself around.We just took a trip to Europe where I had to do a lot of pushing. I wore this ontop of a light glove and it worked great. It gave me a bit more support for my thumb while not getting in the way of doing what I needed to do. There were several days where I wore this most of the day and it was reasonably comfortable. I will also say that it held up well. Frankly the brace held up better than my gloves.In my opinion, the brace probably did more by limiting my range of motion just enough to keep me from putting too much stress on the joint. I was happy that I had this on our trip.

I literally can never be bothered to write product reviews, good or bad, without an incentive...but after just 6 hours of wearing this brace I felt compelled to share how absolutely SUPERLATIVE it is. If you have De Quervain's, stop looking around and order this Mueller brace immediately!It's comfortable, supportive, nonintrusive and fits great. Most importantly, the design of the thumb enclosure is brilliant; it lets you retain full access to functions of your thumb, but prevents the kind of backwards expanding "claw" hand movements that always cause a sharp pain in the wrist. And it's loose enough to not cut off your circulation, which is perfect for long uninterrupted periods of use. For the price and performance this brace is unmatched.

This is a very supportive brace. I do like it. Ventilation is reasonable however in the summer it will feel a bit hot. I gave it a 4 instead of 5 for one reason- the strap that goes around just below your knuckles and to the base of your thumb should have a slightly longer "hook" pad on it because I have large hands and once in a while this strap will lift off. It needs more contact with the hook & loop closure system to be more secure for large or stronger more active hands. That one issue would put me on the fence of buying it again or trying another similar product.

I have bilateral thumb. CMC osteoarthritis. My choices was to wear braces and get hand injections or to have surgery on each of my hands. I would probably not have full use of either hand for at least 12 months. And the surgery was not a guarantee that the pain that I'm experiencing would go away. For the past 4 years I've used four or five different braces, even braces that I got from the hand surgeons department that was $125 a piece. When I saw these braces and the reviews and because of the price, I decided what do I have to lose? Let me give it a shot. I have to tell you I've been using these braces now for about a month and I'm using them on each hand, and they're the best braces that I've owned for my hand joint problems. They're easy to put on and take off. They fully relieve the pain on both of my hands and they're also easy to keep clean and they're very durable as well. If you're experiencing hand pain and you're looking for a good hand brace, try these. You have nothing to lose and you're not paying $125 each for something that's not going to be as good as these braces. So in the end I want to thank the manufacturer for helping me out. I'm going to buy another pair of these braces to have extra in the house and I rate them five stars, if I could rate them 10 Stars I would rate them 10 Stars.

I guess I sprained or stressed my thumb doing prep and cooking at a restaurant. If I hooked or used my thumb a certain way the pain screamed. I couldn’t use my thumb for a while and the pain would even wake me out of a deep sleep.I used this splint, especially for when I was sleeping (didn’t realize how much I adjusted my covers in my sleep). It was perfect in protecting my thumb and I could still use my hand well enough to get by. Once I started using this splint my thumb finally started to heal and quickly. Wish I hadn’t waited so long to purchase this splint. Thought it would heal on its own.Durable product, very affordable price, and the only splint I ordered that actually stabilized my thumb and prevented it from bending back. I noticed my muscles would relax and I felt no pain while wearing this.

Mueller is one of the most respected brands in braces. I love this one because it’s so adjustable with the three straps. It’s relatively lightweight and it looks like it’s breathable. This is the first day I’ve used it so I’m not 100% certain of that.It seems very well-made and doable. It’s got some cushioning and no painful and heavy metal inserts. Highly recommended.Technically, I can bend my thumb a little, but I’m not concerned about that. Even though this is called a thumb stabilizer, it’s really a thumb and wrist stabilizer, which is just what I needed. And it’s about half price of the other ones. You can’t go wrong with this brace, in my opinion.
