Question 1

I have severe radial nerve palsy.  My wrist hangs down and I can't open my fingers at all.  Will this brace lift my wrist and fingers?

Accepted Answer

You will want to get either the Benik W-711 or the W-710 to support your wrist. I had surgery to repair hanging fingers due to severe damage to the Radial, Ulnar, and Median nerves in my elbow, forearm and wrist in Sept. The Fingers could make a fist but will not extend, the index, little fingers and thumb  just hang. I actually got the W-700 because my wrist partially moves towards the inside and up and down, and I need the support to hold my fingers extended. The will not go outward due to bone problems in the arm and wrist. My whole body has severe degenerative arthritis. If your fingers will make a fist and extend fully while hanging at the wrist you don't need the Finger tip extenders like the W-710 demonstrate. The first thing you should do if you get a Benik is go to their website for proper set up. Very straight forward directions. Checkout this link: https://www.benik.com/adults/wrist before buying because they have allot of info and I am not a medical person nor are they. I've done all the therapy after a cervical vertebra was replaced in my neck and recently the elbow, forearm, and wrist ops. The fingers are stll hanging just as the were beginning a year and half ago. Good Luck.
