The wrist is formed of eight carpal bones connected to the forearm and the metacarpus. The intricate structure of joints and tendons allows all kinds of nimble movements, yet this also means that many types of injuries can result. Repeated movements or heavy loading can easily cause flexor tendons inflammation, pressure on the carpal tunnel's central nerve can result in carpal tunnel syndrome. Sudden exertion of strength often sprains wrist tendons and causes joint contusions. lmpact during exercise can easily cause wrist fractures, radius fractures and wrist sprains. Because of the fatigue of exercise or over-activity, the wrist can suffer neuralgia and tendonitis, such as in de Quervain's disease and carpal tunnel syndrome, causing pain, numbness or weakness in the hand.
HOW DOES LP PROTECT YOU?
The wrist's complex structure of ligaments and tendons allows people to do nimble movements like grasping. The LP Sports Medicine Team actively researches wrist support and stability. Appropriate pressure applied by highly pliable material like CoolPrene can lower wrist impact caused by exercise or moving heavy items. When muscles are weak, the wrist can become unstable. Using elastic binding tape can improve the concentration of strength, allowing the wrist to exert strength more efficiently. After an injury, biomechanically designed wrist protection can limit the range of movement of the wrist, effectively lowering the chance of overloading during the recovery period. LP wrist support and wrap provides appropriate pressure,compression and support in case of wrist injury,wrist strains,thumb joint strain and carpal tunnel syndrome.
