CARP'IMMO™ - Night use

TRUE and FALSE! Yes, in an ideal world, but immobilising your wrist during activity causes you to change how you move, and you may compensate by overusing other joints like the elbow or shoulder. These can soon begin to show signs of suffering. During the day, it is better to protect the wrist from potentially harmful actions with an active brace that doesn’t stop it from moving.

FALSE! Some habits seem to reduce the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. For example, daily repeated movements should impede as little as possible the wrist joint. The CARP’IMMO™ brace for a day use limits the traumatic injuries and protects your joint. Choosing an ergonomic equipment, avoiding vibrations and repeated movements can also limit pain.

FALSE! Other options are suggested before surgery. First, it is recommended to find and treat the causes responsible for carpal tunnel syndrome (repeated movements, vibrations, etc.). Also, a drug therapy or a wrist brace such as the CARP’ACTIV™ for day use or the CARP’IMMO™ for night use by EPITACT^® can be required. If all this is not sufficient, surgery will be performed but the recurrence is still possible.
