Masalo wrist bandage

Muscles with their tendons run from the hand via the wrist to the elbow - 5 muscles on each side of the elbow.
The purpose of these muscles is to enable the fingers, the metacarpus, the wrist, but also the forearm and the elbow joint to perform many different movements and functions.

Many people experience pain, inflammation, tears in the tendon attachments and overload on or in the area of the elbow, resulting in an epicondylitis (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, mouse arm)

The Masalo Cuff MED helps with epicondylitis with the unique counter-traction principle of action effectively, quickly and sustainably.

The pain and problems of epicondylitis are found in the elbow, but the causes of this injury are found in the hand and wrist area.

The cause of epicondylitis are tensile forces of the forearm muscles, which lead to micro tears at the tendon attachments on the elbow.
These overloads are usually caused by overextending the wrist (e.g. when working on the PC with the mouse) or during everyday activities, during sports, gardening, knitting, crocheting, etc. and through instability of the wrist, also e.g. when lifting loads and weights, or when playing tennis and golf etc.

Function of the wrist bandage

The Masalo wrist bandage does not develop any medical effect itself, but is a useful and sensible addition and support to the Masalo Cuff MED. When the wrist brace is applied, hyperextension and hyperflexion of the wrist are reduced and in combination of both bandages you have an excellent chance to rid your injury even faster.

In combination with the Masalo Cuff MED, the tensile forces coming from the hand and acting on the tendon insertions of the forearm can be reduced even further. This helps to avoid unfavorable overstretching and hyperextension of the wrist during many activities, especially sports. Also, when working on the computer with the mouse, a more favorable angle can be created for the hand so as not to further irritate the injury.
