Highland Center, in Southeast Iowa | southcentralnd - 4/2/2025 20:58 Not sure if it's possible to ever get movement back into his wrist but had my older brother got hand arm banged up in a baler. He could close his had but couldn't open it or lift his wrist so they made him an brace that went over top with bands on it so it would open his hand and lift his wrist for him. Between that and acupuncture he got full movement back in it.
Interesting!! How long between his injury and being fitted with the brace, and then having full movement?? Was the brace powered in any way, or just use some type of elastic to provide counter pressure? With my hubs, it's really kinda odd.....the hand works really well over-all....he has decent strength and can do most farm tasks and can work with both hand tools and machines with some modifications. But without that wrist action, he isn't great with a hammer! He tells people 'if I'm running the hammer, don't you hold the chisel'. It's also complicated by his essential tremor too. |
